<p>Anyone have any insight when comparing these two? I just started looking into the TCU Honors program.
My gut feeling, and tell me if I'm wrong, is that the academics across the board at Trinity are probably more challenging. Facilities wise, I think both schools are pretty state of the art. TCU has quite a large endowment, as does Trinity, so there are a lot of advantages available at both schools. Seems to me, just from Youtube and their website, TCU takes care of their Honors kids quite well. No idea what it would take to get into the TCU Honors program. My guess is many Trinity kids probably have the academic background to get in, but either didn't chose that direction or weren't aware of it.</p>
<p>There are differences in the schools apart from academics. Football, for instance, is a very big deal at TCU. Greek life at Trinity flourishes, but has no national chapters and is (I believe) more low key than TCU. My D is loving her experience at Trinity and has friends who are having a great time at TCU. But I can’t see either of them trading places. You might take a look at the non-academics to get a flavor for what campus life is like at each place. I honestly don’t know anything about TCU’s honor program to offer any comment.</p>
