Texas Christian University
TCU is a medium-sized private university in Fort Worth, TX with a lot of school spirit and strong programs in business, nursing, communications, and engineering.

Less expensive than nearby archrival Southern Methodist University, TCU enrolls just over 8,000 undergrads including 63% from Texas. The Horned Frogs compete in the NCAA Div. 1 Big 12 Conference and won the Rose Bowl in 2011.
