At other schools, you trade the excitement of big-time athletics for the personalized attention of small class sizes. Or the amenities of a big city for the coziness of a college town. 

But here at Texas Christian University, you find a unique mix of challenging but supportive academics, the thrill of Big 12 sports and a walkable campus located in one of America’s most dynamic cities.

There’s no place like TCU.
