<p>Just curious--I recently got accepted into TCU and was wondering if there was a strong political leaning on campus. I lean to the left a bit but prefer to stay in the middle. I was curious if the campus leans in any direction and if there is a large sense of activism within the student body.</p>
<p>As of this afternoon, the Athletic Dept. has a significantly Eastern lean. :)</p>
<p>The fact that TCU is in the state of Texas, that many of the students are from wealthy-ish families and that greek life is big there…it leans pretty much to the right.</p>
<p>Is the student body active in politics or pretty apathetic?</p>
<p>Have heard its a fun place where the activism leans towards finding a keg (Christian school, go figure). You probably need to be in a more cosmopolitan place if you’re at all concerned about politics as opposed to partying.</p>
<p>My guess it is pretty conservative politically but we are from CA too… and schools here lean very left. With TCU being in Fort Worth and only miles from Dallas, I think it is fairly cosmopolitan. Dallas is VERY sophisticated.</p>
<p>There are 7800 undergrads at TCU. There are 11 social fraternities and 10 sororities.
That’s a pretty big greek presence given the size of the student body.<br>
From what I’ve heard about the greeks at my kids’ big state u’s, politics is not a main topic of conversation.</p>
