I have visited Ole Miss and TCU, and I love them both. They are kind of similar but I can’t decided. What do ya’ll think? I love how they both have a lot of school spirit.
TCU!! It’s a better school academically and students all seem to be happy there (even the non Christian ones)
TCU- Better academics, better school, better local area, better sports, better campus
TCU
OP, what are you planning to study? Will one cost significantly more to fund than the other?
Agree with Lucie, have you chosen a major? For example, if you chose engineering, you’ll likely find Ole Miss a better fit.
I am planning on majoring in business or doing PR in communications. I have alway wanted to do something in healthcare, but I am not interested in being a doctor or nurse because I do not want to go to school for that long, and my grades are too average to be a doctor. I loved my anatomy class this year, but I cannot figure out any majors that I would like having to do with healthcare. I am very hyperactive and love working with others, but I am scared a desk job in the business world might not be for me.
I also heard the speech pathology program at TCU is very strong, which i might be interested in.
It doesn’t appear you really know what you want to do (which is perfectly fine at this point) so choose the school that will allow you (1) the most options that are of any interest to you (2) which school allows you to switch between colleges within the university with the least headache and (3) whichever you choose, grades will be a big factor in getting employment so make sure you can maintain a good and competitive GPA
good luck
Thank you so much! So helpful!
Sounds like TCU is the choice. Being in Dallas/Ft. Worth, there are many more job opportunities than in Mississippi.
How much does each cost if you do
(tuition, fees, room&board) - (grants and scholarships)?
Ole miss is about $38,200 which includes room and board and fees. TCU is about $50,000 including room and board. TCU is a lot more expensive, but Ole Miss is definitely not cheap with my out of state tuition, I also heard that the sorority fees are pretty expensive at Ole Miss.
Can your parents pay either one out of pocket?
(WITHOUT a loan)?
Yes they are paying for everything thank goodness! They are a little concerned since there is another sibling in college already, but they can pay for it.
I’d go with TCU then.
