Inside Our Residential Experience

By Texas Christian University

December 1^st, 2023

TCU’s top 10-ranked residence halls are more than just a place to rest your head. They’re vibrant communities where Horned Frogs live, learn and play.

Fun traditions and events, a two-year on-campus living requirement, and an emphasis on Connection Culture are TCU hallmarks that help you build community and find your place here no matter which residence hall you call home.

Cozy and Comfortable Rooms

While your room is furnished, consider it a blank canvas that you can personalize to reflect your personality and style. Most first-year students live in traditional rooms, sharing with one or two roommates — an experience that most often leads to higher satisfaction and academic success.

New on East Campus

Opened in January 2025, Hill Hall and Walsh Hall are TCU’s newest residence hall communities, primarily for first-year students.

A Dynamic Community

Living on campus puts you in the center of Horned Frog spirit, fostering a strong sense of belonging that goes beyond the classroom. And, there are no shortage of places in and around residence halls to study, hang out with friends, meet new ones and enjoy all that our close-knit community offers.

On the southwest side of campus, the Worth Hills area includes several upperclassman halls and housing for Greek organizations.

A pingpong table is one of the many amenities in Foster Hall.

Moncrief Hall residents are known as the Moncrief Monarchs. Other halls’ communities include the Clark Sharks and the Colby Cuties.

Residence halls’ exteriors, like the patio at Waits Hall, are a great place to relax or study on a beautiful day.

Fun and Games

In addition to building meaningful connections between students, resident assistants (RAs) and hall directors in each residence hall host fun events to educate, engage and connect.

From intentional conversations and hanging out at the front desk to events like movie and game nights, trivia competitions, themed study breaks and wellness sessions, these gatherings are one of the best ways for Horned Frogs to build community and feel empowered and supported.
