Texas Christian University

Texas Christian University (TCU) is a private, coeducational university located in Fort Worth, Texas and was founded in 1873. TCU is affiliated with, but not governed by, the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ). Its mascot is the erroneously named “horned frog”.
TCU enrolls 8,799 students, 7,600 of which are undergraduates.
The university is classified as a Tier 1 institution by U.S. News and World Report. TCU’s campus sits on 272 acres (1.10 km2) and is located just five miles (8 km) from downtown Fort Worth.
Roughly two-thirds of TCU undergraduate students live on campus. Housing is divided among 13 residence halls and a community of on-campus apartments. Students are required to live in an on-campus residence hall, most of which are co-ed, for at least their Freshman and Sophomore years, though many students choose to remain on-campus for their entire time at TCU.
