First impressions are often considered crucial. For prospective students choosing a college, Monday at TCU can create their first impressions of the university.

Eric Hart of Baton Rouge, La. was on campus for Monday at TCU and said he found the event very informative. Hart said he learned about TCU traditions and student life and also had the opportunity to meet potential students in his tour group.

“I liked the size of the group because it gave me a chance to talk with other high school students since there was only eight to 10 in my group,” Hart said.

The tour, which began at the Dee J. Kelly Alumni and Visitors Center traveled through the entire campus.

The one-hour tours are guided by members of Student Foundation and each tour includes about 25 people including parents and prospective students.

Hart has toured two other schools including Louisiana State University and Centenary College of Louisiana. He said he preferred the Monday at TCU program here to that of the other schools’ similar programs.

Alvin Kindred of Granbury said the tour group and session groups were the right size.

Kindred visited the session about college athletics. He said the session was informative because it gave him information about the specific NCAA requirements within the university.

Sammie Frock of Jefferson City, Mo. said she visited numerous universities including University of Missouri-Columbia, Kansas City and other private schools. Frock said that she was very impressed with the university.

“So far TCU is the front runner among the schools I’ve visited,” she said.
