Texas Christian University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Amanda

The classes are a lot more challenging than I anticipated.

Lauren

That the film program is really rockin'. Also, would have liked to know how GPA is determined...would have helped me a lot freshman year.

Travis

I had two siblings come here before me. I knew what I was doing.

Jennifer

I wish I had met more people and known the degree of intensity of the work load for students. I also wish I had known that 12 hours is still an extremely difficult task, and now that I am taking 15 its even more difficult. But well worth it!

Brittney

How to continually search for financial aid while doing my class work. Doing this would have put me in a better situation than I am in now.

Whitney

I wish I would have known what I really wanted to major in before I actually started my college education and I wish I would have taken dual credit courses in high school.

Lauren

I wish someone would have been honest with me about the sorority life on campus. I was told that TCU was a mostly Greek University, and I have come to find out that that is not neccesarily true. After joining and dropping a sorority, my most beneficial advice to an incoming Freshman would be: "Be your own person and don't let anyone tell you that you should join a particular group to fit in. There are amazing people all over campus; not just Greek."

Greg

That people worry way to much about the way they look. Also, greek life is way bigger than they let it out to be.

Hunter

I wish I had knows how to really take advantage of professors who devote so much of their time to undergraduate students.

Katherine

I wish I would have known that the fraternity and sorority life was so big. I was not excited about being involved in a sorority, but now i am involved in two (a chirstian sorority and a regular sorority). I love them both and would not change anything. I just wish that I would have known how big the involvement was.
