what happened to class?

There are a lot more heavy set people now then there were before. The school needs to look into this and why it is happening.

If you are from Texas, especially this area, you know that TCU was a prestigious campus with a student body made up of mainly wealthy students from Texas that were proud of their state and their university. TCU rivaled SMU ( where a presidential family would choose to send their daughter) in class and atmosphere as a private, Christian University. As the mix of students has changed to out of state students the class level and pride has taken a dive. Partying has become so classless you feel like you are at a low rent California Junior College. Unless the administration takes real action TCU will continue to loose prestigious Texas families. For those who know what TCU was, the answer is a resounding yes, the class has been lost, probably forever. Students who want that will now go to SMU if they are wise. What a pitiful end for a once exceptional tradition of excellence. All those that are offended and choose to post a hate filled response will only succeed in proving this post to be true.

Whatever your state, a lot of us are sick of the low rent behavior that is flooding Texas Christian University. Class it up or go somewhere else. You are harming our universities reputation and people don't appreciate it. This university had been known for its high class, superior private university atmosphere. If you are from here you know that. If you are not from here, you need to learn it. People are starting to stand up and want to take our schools quality back.

I feel the school needs to step up here and start making rules. I'm so tired of people showing their "thigh gap". Why do you think I want to see your crotch. Wear a shirt long enough to cover your crotch if you are going to wear yoga pants or yoga shorts. I don't want to see you crotch and stop showing your "thigh gap" It is low class.

I dont know where all this BS is coming from, but TCU is not losing its class whatsoever. Each year we are becoming a more and more prestigious university, with brighter and brighter students. This pompous attitude coming from the comments above is asinine and by no means the attitude on campus. If by class you mean "arrogant" and "entitled", then please by all means go to SMU where you so rightfully belong. Go Frogs

Not sure this school ever was a classy as it proported to be . At least I admit I went here because it was the only place I got into and I wanted to use my parents money to go away to school.

Texas Christian University will always have high class students, outstanding accommodations and some of the best schools of study around. Yes, there has been an influx of students who came here because they learned about us from the Big 12 and some are not as high in their standards. This will remain a highly desirable school any way.

There does appear to be a lowering of behavior in recent years. It isn't fair to blame it on one state but it is a sad truth no matter why

The requirements to be accepted to TCU have gone up but I agree the conduct of students has dropped. Too many students who should have attend a state college in their home state is changing the atmosphere. Not all but some...

Do not be discouraged! There are still lots of people who have standards. Just like anywhere there are people that are loud and low class. Do not let them drown out all the good people that are here. TCU still attracts high quality students and that won't change anytime soon.
