LakeWashington,
My son and I (he’s a college freshman now – not at TCU) toured and visited TCU many, many times. We LOVED it! The campus is gorgeous. But the people? Oh my goodness, the people! They were amazing! Faculty, students, administration … all of them so friendly, and happy, and polite, and kind! On different occasions, we’d leave the campus to see a sight or two or eat at a local restaurant. While in that area of Fort Worth, we’d invariably run into kids in purple TCU apparel. Whenever we asked them about TCU, the answers were all the same. Those kids LOVED TCU! They were, to a person, poised, personable, friendly, and very, very kind – like humble and sweet and helpful. I just cannot tell you how impressed we were with the people. Faculty and administration were the same way. I have no idea if we were meeting a “representative sample,” but the people we met were very, very nice, respectable, and impressive. Impressive in the way of character and happiness and helpfulness… not necessarily in terms of “accomplishments” – they may have been; we didn’t get into that – but in terms of being well-rounded and NICE. Good luck in making your college decisions!
