I can say that I was not Greek and had a great time. Maybe if your only goal is to party every night of the week then going Greek would help. But I was there for an education and to live on my own and experience some of the world outside of my parents' home. I got that for sure. I participated in all the social events that the school put on (which there were many and were well attended) and found my way out to cultural activities going on in the area (of which there were plenty and diverse). So for those people that say you have to be Greek I think they're not really trying at all. About the education, I had a great experience in the Business school. It wasn't Harvard but it was real-world focused and to be honest that's what you're going to college for...to get a job! I took advantage of recruiters that came to campus. I had a $16/per hour internship with two different companies (Lockheed and GTE) while I was there and those came from recruiters that visited the campus. While my other friends didn't take advantage of those opportunities and went to find non-paying jobs, I was making a ton of money. The point? Take advantage of what's on offer, plan ahead, and you can be a success! About life on campus, all is different from when I was there. I was in Tom Brown Hall, which was torn down. Now there are beautiful new dorms. You can't beat the housing there at TCU now. Football and basketball were free to students, the new Student Center and gym look incredible. There's an endowment to keep fresh flowers for every season. You're paying a good price to go there but they're not skimping on the campus!

Sure, there are many rich kids in a frat or sorority that are quite annoying or tools, but there are many others who are modest, down to earth people with interesting hobbies and unique lifestyles. I came to the school and joined a fraternity, only to quit it after one year. I got involved instead with a service organization and programming council and made great friends who I keep in touch with to this day. TCU is a beautiful campus. The buildings are great, the new student center is immaculate, the workout center is gorgeous. I'm in the journalism program and it has a relatively high reputation around the country, which is cool. The teachers are pretty challenging and the other students seems motivated. Fort Worth is a pretty fun town, close enough to Dallas if you want the big action of the city, but far enough away that you can breath and live in a nice, quiet city. There are fun bars and music clubs within a walk from campus and Sundance Square and the Stockyards are both great for a night out. Plus the winters are mild, major plus for a Midwest guy like myself who hates cold. Also, if you are not religious (I'm not), don't worry about the "Christian" aspect. Only a handful of students are really involved and participate in it. Overall, I'd do TCU again if I had to choose all over. Campus Aesthetics: A+, Innovation: B Have a Question?
