“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!”

"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.”
