The
first time I toured TCU, I knew that it's where
I wanted to go. Beautiful campus, attractive girls, and amazing
facilities. However, you can't always judge a book by its
cover. TCU is a school that doesn't really show its
true colors until you actually become a student. I'll start
with the positive aspects though. The facilities are amazing. They
are new, always clean, and above average when it comes
to comparing them to other schools. Lots of technology and
modern equipment is found everywhere. Flat screen TVs in the
dining hall, computers in every building, etc. Very clean campus.
It's always nice walking through and feeling like you're in
a place that's well kept. The rec is nice, the
BLUU (dining hall) is nice, and the library is nice,
but kind of cramped for space. The academics are challenging;
even if you choose an easy course that you think
will be a blow off, the teacher somehow finds a
way to make it difficult. If you're pre-med, you better
be serious about it, because majority of pre-meds drop their
major after the first semester. Don't be fooled, you WILL
need to study a lot if you plan on making
good grades. However, if you want to go to a
school where you're challenged academically, then you're good to go
here. A good majority of the students are nice, and
everyone is a good looking bunch. Most people are fit,
and you don't feel endangered by the kind of people
that you're surrounded with. Time for the negatives. Most of
this is regarding social life. I wanted to go to
a school that had good facilities and academics, but also
provided the college experience that we all crave. TCU isn't
the social life that you expect. Greek life is EVERYTHING.
If you want to have a social life, you better
go Greek, or you are doomed. Everything involving social life
revolves around what sorority or fraternity you're in. At times,
you feel like you are going to college with a
bunch of clones or look-a-likes. Everyone dresses extremely fratty: polo
shirts, sperries, khaki shorts, etc. It gets pretty annoying. Guys
do not venture outside of their fraternities. They sit at
the same tables every day, and are so stuck in
their little circles that they don't have friends outside of
that. They start acting the same as the other guys
in their fraternity, and basically don't travel anywhere else without
them. If they are ever in a situation without their
“brothers,” they look awkward, scared, and out of their element.
This school is EXTREMELY clique-ish. There is no sense of
individuality, and everyone only cares about/talks about what sorority or
fraternity they're in. Once they graduate, they won't know what
to do with themselves. I thought this would eventually die
out, but it doesn't. The social life is pretty lame.
People either stay in their dorms, go to their frat
houses to get drunk with their little circle of friends,
or go to the bars—and by bars I mean Old
Rips: a boring, overpriced bar where people act like idiots
and get drunk and socialize with, who would've guessed, the
people in their fraternity or sorority. There is never any
other social event except for an occasional mixer or house
party, which, yet again, is based on your fraternity. I
plan on transferring, because the people here are so close-minded
and way too involved in Greek. I want a place
where people can make friends outside of their little social
groups, which are extremely pointless in the end. If you
want to be a frat star and spend four years
with the same group of guys, have absolutely no individuality,
and become engulfed in a life that has no variation
other than dressing fratty and drinking, then by all means,
come to TCU. It's a shame that such a nice
campus is ruined by people like this.
