I "C" what you did there...That's good news. I was afraid we were going to have some acronym issues with University of North Texas and TCU together....

It’s coming.Excellent. Needless to say, this is a big deal.
Honestly always hoped TCU would acquire other components of UNTHSC, too, and though that ship probably just sailed this is the biggest asset. With an an elite nursing program and now a fully-stood-up MD program, we have some cache to launch other programs down the line if we want.
I would expect some facilities announcements in the near future. Land has been acquired.
Huh? You want your med little med students in the middle of the night walking to their cars on Rosedale? That’s a helluva selling point.That property we own down on Rosedale in the medical neighborhood now needs a building. If I just had $50,000,000 available, we could have a very nice building and we could then speak of the TCU Brog Medical school. Any other takers here on FF?
Hey Hemingway, catch up. The building on Rosedale would be the Medical school building, not the dormitories for the students. A Medical School building works best if it's right in the middle of an active hospital/medical district.Huh?

Just bulldoze some more houses they own on Berry st.
If you’ve been through the med school thing you know they’ve got some long long hours.Hey Hemingway, catch up.

Not sure where this comes from, but the deal died because TCU never offered what Wesleyan thought was fmv.The Basses bailing out Wesleyan to kill the prospective deal with TCU is one of the best things that happened to TCU so far this century.

Texas A&M University School of Law, from Wikipedia:
“Texas A&M University is ranked 53rd nationally in the 2022 edition of the U.S. News Rankings of Best Law Schools. The school is also ranked 7th for its intellectual property law program and 8th for its dispute resolution program for 2022.
Texas A&M's overall U.S. News ranking has increased rapidly since 2015, when it was unranked. Between 1998 and 2020, the school experienced the largest increase of any law school to its academic reputation score. This score, based on a survey of law school faculties, is the largest single factor in the U.S. News rankings methodology. U.S. News has previously ranked the law school 149th (2016), 111th (2017), 92nd (2018), 80th (2019), 83rd (2020), and 60th (2021).”
SMU and Baylor are ranked 52nd and 58th nationally in the 2022 U.S. News Rankings of Best Law Schools.
Guessing you graduated in the 60’s and haven’t been on Rosedale in maybe 25 years?Huh? You want your med little med students in the middle of the night walking to their cars on Rosedale? That’s a helluva selling point.

The area around the hospital district is not scary to me. Tons of offices, apartments, and restaurants in the area.Guessing you graduated in the 60’s and haven’t been on Rosedale in maybe 25 years?
Ferrari dropped the ball here, absolutely tragic that TCU did not close this deal. [ What the heck? ]?!?!From Wikipedia: “The agreement became final on August 12, 2013, with Texas A&M purchasing the school and all its physical and licensing assets for $73 million.”
In the context of $113 million spent on the football stadium‘s East Side Club, $73 million appears like a good deal for the purchaser—for an already up and running accredited law school. Texas A&M then quickly turned it into one of this country’s best and I wonder how they accomplished that. The location and its surroundings appear dang good too—easy to get to on an edge of downtown, adjacent to the Water Gardens, and close to central business district law firms.
Also, it is the only law school in the 13th largest, and growing, city in the country (Fort Worth), thus it is the only option of convenience for anyone living in Fort Worth and wanting that J.D. degree. Houston has three, Dallas two, and San Antonio, Austin, Waco and Lubbock each have one.
Texas A&M pounced and excelled on an opportunity in Fort Worth. TCU will likely never reconsider a law school in its hometown because Texas A&M closed that window.
I know a young person that lives in a very nice loft in an old building in that area. Basically surrounded by Magnolia, Eighth, and downtown. Also some nice commercial development happening on Vickery.The area around the hospital district is not scary to me. Tons of offices, apartments, and restaurants in the area.
Of all the changes over there, my favorite is that Benito’s started serving chips and salsa.The whole southside has been transformed in the last 5 years. The number of offices, apartments/condos and restaurants/bars coming into the area is impressive. In another 5 years that place will be even more impressive and destination living/playing than almost any area of Fort Worth. It is unreal the amount of $ being poured into the area.
