The month of February is all about love. It's a time for us to appreciate the meaningful
relationships in our lives and celebrate the love we share for our friends, families,
and significant others. So I figured, why not extend this love to TCU?
I love my classes and have enjoyed all the academic opportunities I've been granted
because of TCU. Because of the university's support and encouragement, I can pursue
multiple majors and a minor while completing the honors curriculum. It sounds daunting,
but truthfully, it's been incredibly fun and rewarding to study in several areas I'm
passionate about without sacrificing an interest for the sake of time.
I also love how TCU has pushed me to get involved and make friends. From joining the
Women's Club Soccer team to working for the Office of Admission to becoming the president
of a writing organization here, there is no shortage of experiences that have not
only granted me some of the closest relationships in my life but also prepared me
for the world beyond TCU.
Being a student at TCU is a significant commitment of your time and energy, just like
any relationship. In the absolute best way, we share so many meaningful memories with
this place, and in return, TCU loves us back. This college gifts us amazing friends,
academics, social events, and career opportunities. But don't just take it from me.
To celebrate Valentine's Day this year, I asked current students and admission counselors
what they love most about TCU...
Students:
"I love the small school benefits like small classes, knowing professors, and seeing
people on campus but with a big school feel with our sports and career resources."
- Hannah Scanlon, Junior Nursing Major
"I love the access to scholarships and the amount of diversity on campus. I love the
community, the constant engagement, and everyone's willingness to find and participate
in leadership. Organizations seek you instead of you seeking them. Professor support
is also huge for me." - Hailey Williams, Junior Biology Major, Deaf and Hard of Hearing Studies Minor on the
Pre-Med track.
"I cherish TCU as my southern home. I found lifelong friends who feel like family now,
and I love attending fun classes with them.” - Raia Raiyyani, Sophomore Business Information Systems Major
Counselors:
"The culture of excellence, truly positive atmosphere and beautiful campus make you
want to invest further in yourself and be the best version of you. Plus, purple is
an awesome color." - Cole Polley, Admission Counselor
"What I love about TCU is the sense of community and camaraderie that everyone has
here. Everywhere you go on campus, people are always smiling and genuinely enjoy being
here and working together as a team. There is a genuine sense of warmth and kindness
here on campus." - Sophie Deutsch, Director of Admission Programs
"The people at TCU make it a great place to learn, study, live, work and play. Having
experienced TCU as an employee and student, I have enjoyed and benefited from the
commitment and care provided by many of our faculty and staff members from several
areas across campus. People here truly care about helping students become the best
version of themselves. When someone becomes part of the TCU community, they are a
member of the Horned Frog Family! I hope when people visit Texas Christian University
they experience the warmth, level of care and commitment I have come to expect, know
and love." - Michael Leshner, Senior Transfer Admission Counselor
