I really enjoyed my experience at TCU. 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.
