Diversity? What Diversity?

The majority of the student body is Caucasian/White. Although there are other ethnicities represented, they mostly just stay within a group of other people of the same race. There is a reason why TCU was ranked #9 on PrincetonReview's list of colleges with little race/class interaction! I see VERY few groups of students with more than one ethnicity represented.

Most of the students at TCU are also relatively well off (count the number of BMWs and Mercedes parked in the student lots!). The ones who are not are generally scholarship students. You can also tell who has money just by what they're wearing. The typical upper-middle-class white TCU female, for example, wears a North Face jacket and backpack and Ugg boots, and is walking along texting on an iPhone.

Almost everyone at TCU looks the same, and it's hard to remember faces when nearly every girl comes from the same cookie-cutter mold.

Soo Frustrating!

There a not enough lots and they are not big enough! They have taken away several lots in the past years for construction and have not compensated for this loss. I am a commuter and have decided to park on the street everyday instead of trying to find a parking spot.
