“TCU really feels like the heart of it all. When you think of TCU, you probably think of Fort Worth and vice versa. Fort Worth has its own unique charm and tons of different cultures that make the whole DFW area exciting. Getting around is easy as well. Whether you’re hopping on the Trinity Railway Express train, grabbing a rideshare, or just walking, it’s simple to explore Fort Worth, Dallas, and all the spots in between. Everything on campus is close by too even the grocery store if you need to pick something up. You can enjoy the big-city vibe whenever you want but still feel that close-knit community! At TCU, you really get the best of both worlds, a place where you are welcomed and a city full of opportunities!”

Hobbies & Interests: Debate (as in a casual exchange with friends), writing poetry, working out, business and brainstorming creative ways to generate revenue, and listening to violins.
"What sets TCU apart is the simplicity that so much sets TCU apart. Home games invite you into what it truly means to be a Horned Frog. Campus life — residence halls, the Commons, the Recreation Center, the dining halls — is designed to weave a tight web of friendships with other Frogs. And in the classroom, learning is both rigorous and fun. I’ve noticed a pattern: it’s never just about grades or A+s. Professors want you to grow, both in character and profession. They want you to bring in your own examples, your own culture, your own context and learn at your own pace. They want you to discover and use new tools and technologies that make your study smarter, not harder. These truths, among many others, more felt than seen — are, in my opinion, what set TCU apart."

"Stepping outside of your home country and into an entirely new culture is a big life shift, one I’ve made myself. It stretched me, shaped me, and changed me in ways I didn’t expect. That’s why I believe so deeply in the power of a place like TCU. From the moment you arrive, you’re surrounded by a community that doesn’t just welcome you — they walk with you. This campus is full of people who care about your growth, your story and who you’re becoming along the way.”
