    Only if you pick a noteworthy major- engineering, pre-med, science, anything OTHER than a business major. Actually, if you choose a business major you'll probably make good money, but through an indecent outlet. Do everybody a favor and actually make something out of your life by actually learning useful things. And even all of that being considered, there is no real way to justify the amount of money students are charged at TCU. The education is great but it is not better than a Stanford one, by a long shot- who we are on course to outpace in cost here pretty soon.

    Although TCU is quite expensive, it is worth every penny. I know that it is hard to come up with that much money for college, but I have learned that here, you can make the most of your college experience.

    Yes, TCU is very expensive, but you get your money's worth out of it. I am in the School of Music, and my first semester, the Concert Chorale (the top choir) performed with Andrea Bocelli in Dallas. We have done 7 concerts this past semester.

    TCU takes finances very seriously, and as always, the more you put in, the more you get out of it. At TCU, we try to keep tuition as low as possible, but cutting tuition will also cut the experience. To erase a well known myth, some visitors may wonder if tuition goes into things such as the beautification of our campus, and some are outraged to find out that we are able to change our flowers every two weeks, saying that their children's money can be put into something more worthwhile. The truth behind this is, no money from your pockets are used for that. We have wonderful alumni and donors who contributed to creating a fund for such activities, and rest assured, your money ensures that students get the best professors, continuously improving resources, and one of the best educations in the country.
