Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

TCU provides a variety of options for students who live on campus. Housing at TCU revolves around money—each dorm comes with its own price tag. Most of the nicer on-campus housing is reserved for upperclass students, although none of the facilities are entirely exclusive. All freshmen and sophomores are required to live on campus, which can be a great way to get involved with the school and meet new people.

TCU offers students well-furnished and well-maintained living arrangements. Most dorms have carpeting, and all offer access to cable TV and high-speed Internet. Each dorm has a distinct flavor and history, which brings students together. Many students view TCU not only as their school, but literally their home for ten months of the year. Living in a dorm helps students feel at home on campus and brings many students together.

Dorms and Resident Life Community

The dorms at TCU are very nice and spacious. Each room has a sink, twin beds, dresser, and desk. The rooms are fairly spacious for a dorm room. The closets are not that big, so don't bring all your clothes! One thing I love about the dorms at TCU is the community. In my dorm, I know almost everyone on my floor. We have community renewal programs and there are always events hosted by the RAs to build a sense of community. I feel like I belong and have great friends in my hall!

Living Situation

It's amazing! I love having people all around, but at the same time you can get away and go off by yourself! The insides of the buildings that haven't been re-done are a little dated, but you get used to it.

Underclassman Dorms Are Nice

The underclassman dorms on campus are really nice and recently renovated. Although the rooms are about the size of other college dorms, aka small, the dorm itself is beautiful and clean and a great environment to live in.

Did You Know?

The policy at TCU dictates that every freshman and sophomore student must live on campus or at their parents’ house. After the first two years, you can move off campus without a problem.

Comparatively, the cost of renting an on-campus apartment is far less than it would be to lease an apartment from an outside vendor and commute.

You can check out floor plans, pictures, and information about dorms at www.rlh.tcu.edu/reshalls.
