Welcome to Texas Christian University, located in the heart of Fort Worth, Texas. I can't wait to show you around our spirited campus. We'll start at a popular spot for students -- Frog Fountain in the Campus Commons. While it's the perfect setting for selfies, community is also created here. There's always something happening, from concerts to events with bounce houses. At the Annual Christmas Tree Lighting, we gather around the glimmer of purple and white lights, punctuated with the bang of colorful fireworks. Surrounding the commons, you'll see some of our many residence halls. Each offers something unique for students who call TCU their second home.
