[QUOTE="Dadof1Frog, post: 3235551, member: 74480"] Been on this site for the last 15 months and am finally piping in. California Dad here of a HFD in her 2nd year. We had absolutely no prior connection to TCU other than a friends daughter went here several years ago. My daughter made a visit to TCU during her sophomore year in High School and came home saying this is where she wanted to go. She did relatively well in High School and had many options including that Pony School in Dallas (which admittedly was my initial preference for her) as well as many of the smaller private schools in California (Loyola, Chapman, USD, etc). All of whom's cost and scholarships packages didn't differ all that much from TCU's offer to her (and sending her to TCU is a financial sacrifice for us). For us and many of the California families that we know, one of the main attractions of TCU is that it offered a saner education environment (especially during Covid) that wouldn't try and overly indoctrinate my kid. I'm not a raging conservative but the majority of the schools in California have completely gone off the rails with the political indoctrination and the lack of diversity of thought (Colleges used to be beacons of Free Expression). I can't tell you how many of my friends kids have graduated from these schools with a completely different mindset from when they went in. I know TCU is not perfect but its so so much better than the alternative we would have been looking at. So yes, the big time football is part of the attraction but only part. Based on the direction of this State, I would suspect that the applications from California will only continue to increase. Oh and my daughter loves TCU and she made the right choice over that Pony School. [/QUOTE]
