Craig Allen Director, Residential Services

On behalf of the entire Office of Residential Services I want to welcome you to residential living here at TCU! As a TCU resident student you will have many opportunities to interact with students, faculty and staff as you learn to think and act as ethical leaders and responsible citizens. You will find that Residential Services staff – your RA, Hall Director, or any of us in the central office are here to help you make the most of your TCU campus living experience. Please take some time to familiarize yourself with our web resources, and if there is something you would like to see us add to these pages, please write to housing@tcu.edu.

 

TCU is a residential campus by design. Approximately half of the undergraduate population lives in one of eleven residence halls or one of eight fraternity and ten sorority houses.

 

Each residence hall is administered by a Hall Director; each fraternity or sorority by a Program Coordinator. Hall Directors are full-time, live-in professionals who are assisted by Resident Assistants (RAs) who are undergraduate students living in each building. Each residence hall staff offers students the opportunity to engage in a variety of activities and programs. These same types of activities occur in fraternities and sororities, but the chapter officers and members take responsibility for planning.

 

All residents are encouraged to take the initiative in developing a hall environment most suitable for residents. Freedom within limits is the guiding principle just as it is in other communities that make up society. Further information about housing can be found in the Residence Hall Overview section of this web site.

 

Wherever a student lives, staff members are available for resource and referral information as well as specific requests relating to individual need. The Office of Residential Services is located in the Student Center, Room 223. The telephone number is (817) 257-7865 and the e-mail address is housing@tcu.edu.

 

This web site was developed as a tool for both potential and current students to evaluate the options of residential living at TCU. Our Frog Parent section will allow parents of TCU residents to encourage and empower their students.
