USC has 17,500 students

[Gunner]

That is what TCU should do. Increase the size of the school. Forget the housing, the real estate folks will react if the students come. Build a high rise, if necessary.

Solves so many problems.

What do you think.

The size of the school is one of the main reasons I went to TCU.

I likely wouldn't have been at TCU if there were 17.5k students.

Are you really posing this question twice in one week?

TCU's current enrollment is not a problem, it's an asset.

DFWS!

Even though I would like to see TCU around 10,000, USC's size in my opinion is larger than what I would like TCU to become.

There are so many ways to answer this question, I'm just going to settle for :

NO.

Housing is a complete disaster as it is right now. Lots of unhappy students. I don't even want to think of what it would be like with 10K extra students...

Enjoy being a small quiet/private school who carries a big stick.

I'd like to see TCU grow.

For example?

Why are you trying to prove his argument?? :biggrin:

What's the current housing problem?

As for growing - it could be done if/when frats & sororities are allowed off-campus, perhaps on the Honor System (no police calls or damaged houses in past 3-4 years? You can go off-campus. If you or your members are consistently on the TCU/FW police blotter - NO GO.)

This was my thought.

A selfish note: I don't want TCU to grow in numbers......just in the last 2-3 years our part of town (1-2 miles from campus) has become a haven for students who don't live on campus.....their parents buy a home in a nice neighborhood and let the kids and their friends live there (better than having them live at home I guess), and believe me, it has a bad effect on the neighborhood. Too many cars/trucks parked on the street, some loud parties, occasionally visits from the police....stuff we didn't have before. Maybe we just lucked into some bad students insted of good ones, but it is something that will become an issue between the school and its neighboring communities if there is more growth.

I fear innocent lives may be lost due to this thread.....

That is becoming a problem. TCU students use to rent those small frame/brick houses right around campus or apartments. Now their parents are buying them homes in Tanglewood, Overton Park, etc. and that is beginning to be a big problem. All the other homeowners can do is call the police when the "parties" get out of control.
