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 Ive visited,
she said.
