TCU has a really good reputation for its pre-med and nursing programs. What they don't tell you is that they are so difficult that the ones that make it through the entire program are only the top 10-15 percent of people who actually start out. Most teachers are good about office hours. Especially freshman year, lectures are not that worth going to.

Lots of places accept Frog Bucks
Off-campus dining is great. Many of the best restaurants allow students to use Frog Bucks, which are included in your meal plan if you pick the right one. I mean who doesnt like Chipotle? The only downside is you can't use Frog Bucks at Fuzzy's, which is a very popular hangout. Most places also offer 20ish percent off to students, but you have to ask.

Girls & Boys
Girls: At one point rated number 2 by playboy magazine. Many good looking girls, though lots of fake ones too. The only place on earth where plastic rainboots, leggings and boating shirts are trendy.
Guys: Guys are okay looking but many ugly ones end up with hot chicks because of the plethora of hot women.

Greek life is big here
Greek life is hugggggge. Lots of girls from different sororities hang out at parties. There's not just one sorority per fraternity—you hang out with people who are like you, not who you are forced to call your friends. There are big parties. Three 6 Mafia even played at one!! Lots of fun, lots of drinking. There are a few rumors that a couple frats roofie drinks, but that has not been proven all that true.

Drugs are around
Everyone drinks. You will see a few entertaining posters like "1 in 4 TCU students would prefer not to have alcohol at parties." They are lying. Most people smoke weed or are okay with others who do. There are lots of prescription drugs and a bit of cocaine. Doing it in the dorms is stupid because they have drug dogs occasionally raid.

Campus is safe
I personally have never felt unsafe. They have had a couple of problems but what college campus doesnt? Froggie Five-0 gives rides to girls anywhere on campuse after dark so they dont have to walk by themselves.

Diversity University?
Many people are still racist, just subtle comments for the most part. Occasionally people get out of line. Boys are way worse than girls and often throw around derogatory terms behind ethnics backs. Basically three classes of people; stuck up rich white kids driving escalades (about 75%) and minority athletes (20%) minority really smart international people on academic scholorship (5%)

Football is great
There's a great football program, but that's all anyone really cares about, except for baseball in the spring but even that is not a big deal at all.

Always a party here
There's always a party going on. Bars are fun but drinks get expensive. House parties are fun, but when they get big, they get busted. But the cops don't do anything if they do bust a party, they just tell everyone to go home. Frat parties are fun but sometimes are far away. Transportation is included for those but it's not timely. Someone you know is drinking every night of the week.

Strictness
In the dorms they will hand out violations if you get caught. Kegs in dorms are a huge fine. Saturday morning class and community service or fine. On campus though cops are a complete joke, they will not give you a ticket. Better to have a party busted by TCU cops than an actual RA. Depends on the RA but most are cool if you are just walking back home one night.
