Campus Life

The school has a program called frogbucks. Students are able to use their student ID to pay at nearby restaurants.

There's only one dining hall at TCU- Market Square. You will love this place...your first semester. It is the generic buffet-style eatery with everything under the sun to choose from. You will find that this gets very old and, after a while, turns into a cafeteria-style experience which is painfully reminiscent of high school. There are plenty of off-campus restaurants very close by though, and 1873 right downstairs from market square which is always a good meal. You won't go hungry, I'm sure.

Market Square, our main dining facility, has a large variety of options. As at any school, you have to learn to be creative in what you make after awhile, but the quality is great and the staff are very friendly.

It could be better but the good news is there are plenty of other options literally a few steps off campus.

Great selection of food. Love the chocolate fountain on Sunday mornings.

For a dining hall, I would day it is pretty deluxe. Although sometimes it seems as there is never anything appealing, you will always find something worth eating. Between the salad, sandwich, and smoothie bar, you are always going to enjoy every meal.

You can find just about anything you're wanting to eat on campus. Hamburgers, sandwiches/wraps, pizza, stir fry, omelettes for breakfast, smoothie bar, whatever it is, you can usually find it in Market Square, not to mention the Bistro and Union Grounds for your coffee needs.

The Brown-Lupton University Union, or BLUU as students call it, hosts the main cafeteria on campus. All freshmen and sophomores live and eat on campus and are required to have an all you can eat plan. The hours are accessible and the food is consistently good. There are several other eateries on campus including a sushi bar, a late-night option, a coffee-shop/cafe in the library, and a coffee shop in the student union. There are plenty of healthy options all over campus to prevent that freshman-15, like the salad bar in the cafeteria. There's also a smoothie bar which always lots of choices in frozen fruit. Overall, the food is good, but nothing will ever beat a home-cooked meal.

I've always been told by prospective students who come to visit that our dining hall is amazing in comparison to others. We always have an open salad bar. We have omelettes, stir fry, pizza, cereal, a sandwich line, round the clock smoothies, a delectable dessert station, and more. We also have other dining options on campus such as 1873, which opens for later hours in case you need a midnight study break! We have the Bistro Burnett in the library in case you need a snack or some coffee to keep you going. We have Sushi Mama in Smith Hall which offers food on the opposite side of campus so you don't have to make a cross campus trek just for lunch, not to mention our new Food Truck which offers food by Chef Tim Love. If you're at the gym and want to head over to NRG for a delicious smoothie or a healthy snack, the option is there! Not feeling anything on campus? We have great options just down the street from Potbelly's to Einstein's to Fuzzy's and McAlister's, not to mention Dutch's fabulous burgers which are half off on Tuesdays! If you're willing to venture a little farther out, West 7th street has an In N Out, great Sushi, phenomenal pizza, frozen yogurt and more. Finally, no TCU experience is complete without the infamous Sweet Sammies!

All you can eat as often as you want ... won't find that in too many other schools.

The axiom of existence at TCU. Expect to not make friends or have a life if you don't participate. There is a strong negative stigma associated with being non-Greek at TCU; you will be shunned and ridiculed for being a GDI.

Dominates campus.

Huge population of Greek life. Join if it is your thing. You can still enjoy college even if you aren't in a fraternity or sorority.

Greek life may be the best decision I made while attending TCU. It may not be for everyone, but I recommend it for anyone. It is a great way to put yourself out there, make friends, and be a part of something.

Don't join Greek Life unless you want to make a bad name for yourself. The only things I would even suggest to you are Bucks, His, and Mu Phi Epsilon (music majors only). Bucks and His are the two Christian fraternities and sororities on campus and the only ones with good names.

Greek Life at TCU is thriving whether that is through Panhellenic, IFC, Multicultural, or NPHC. While a majority of those who participate are Panhellenic and IFC, students who choose to be involved in the other organizations or to not be involved in Greek at all are still happy and are as much a part of the TCU community as those who do choose to rush. Students who are hesitant have the opportunity to wait and rush either in the spring or in their next fall semester as well, so it's never too late!

There is a huge Greek Life at TCU. Most of the TCU student population is involved in it.

HUGE. Try it before judging! I never in a million years thought I would go greek, but I did and love it!

Very large on campus, but provides a great sense of spirit and inclusion.

Greek Life at TCU is great ! The best part about greek life at TCU is that it if you are a part of it you love it! And if you are not a part of it it really doesn't matter and you will not feel left out because there are plenty of students who are not Greek!
