College Prowler Take

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!

I like TCU, but there is too much partying. If I could do it all over again I probably would not come here.

Overall, I love TCU; it's amazing. Even though it wasn't the best school I got into, it was definitely the right choice. I would do it over again in a heartbeat. They do a great job of making every student feel at home.

TCU is a gem of a school; really, you cannot do any better. At TCU you get the best of both worlds: you get all the amenities of a large campus, like class options, big time sports, etc., with all the advantages to a small private school, like the intimate class sizes, personal attention and a close-knit community. We know how to balance working hard and the social scene. Coming to TCU has seriously been the best life choice I have made this far and I will forever be proud of my decision!

I’ve loved my experience at TCU. Fort Worth has about half of a million people living in it, but it is very suburban and quiet. I think the best thing about TCU is the faculty. They really love to teach, and they will work with you if you have problems. It’s an aesthetically pleasing campus, complete with domesticated squirrels and Oak trees.

I like TCU. I do wish that I was at NYU, but I don’t mind going here (it was my second-choice). It’s really expensive, and I’m really poor, and it doesn’t give me much aid. I still like it, I guess. The teachers are nice, the classes are relatively small, and it’s close to home.
