Overall ExperienceWhat's This?

Most students at TCU are pleased with their education and the opportunities presented to them. While diversity continues to be an issue on campus, strong academics, good facilities, and countless organizations play a larger role in student life. To most students, TCU offers a strong academic foundation in a lively setting. Fort Worth and Dallas provide endless entertainment, while campus police and Froggie Five-O do their best to protect and serve the students on TCU’s campus. Students have a wide variety of living options, providing them with a great environment while earning their educations.

Don't be fooled by the name: TCU isn’t a stuffy church school. It’s a place where students are encouraged to try new things and branch out. A few numerous organizations—Greek ones in particular—tend to discriminate between social groups, but the overall student body is quite friendly. Academically, students are eager to learn, and a small student-faculty ratio allows students to interact closely with each of their professors. In the long run, many TCU students truly appreciate the campus for what it is and tend to view it as an experience like no other. It sure is good to be a Horned Frog!

Greek Life at Texas Christian University

Got to Go Greek

Almost 50% of the campus is greek. Everywhere you go you see people in greek attire, and they are very involved on campus. If you are a guy and are not an athlete or greek, you won't have much to do on the weekends. Greek scene takes over. It would be better though if we had official houses, but they are building then in the next couple of years.

Better Have a Car

There are buses that run around campus all day but thats the only place they run. We have a froggie five-o system that will pick up girls from 5pm to 1 am every night on a golf cart on campus. Other wise alot of stuff is within walking distance of the school and most people have a car.

Variety

I absolutely think that TCU offers a good amount of majors. They have many different fields with a few quite unique to other schools in the north Texas region. I love the social work program because they are truly preparing me for what I am going to face in the real world, something I believe exists in all the majors TCU has to offer. It is not merely about being in a classroom, its about gaining experience and wisdom that will be truly applicable to the real world of my career.
