I will be attending TCU next fall and was wondering the average costs are per semester and if that cost was different if I were not to stay in the greek housing, thanks for the help!

Obviously tuition is the same and you have to purchase a meal plan either way. There is no real difference in cost whether you are in the commons or greek housing. Tuition just rose this semester idk exactly but it's around $23,000.00 a semester I think. Others may have exact figures.

Greek housing is the cheapest on campus now that Colby and Brachman are being rebuilt next school year. However, since new houses are being built in the next few years the price will probably go up. Currently, with the cheapest meal plan and housing, it probably costs around $750 a month. This could be totally off but that was I remember. You can go to rhl.tcu.edu and check residence hall rates-you can google it and it come up on the first page.

Another thing to note is that depending on the group, housing is more competitive. Fraternities almost guarantee housing because of the low numbers but sorority houses are harder. Some require their exec to live in house which takes spots from other members.

TCU just raised tuition again starting next semester to about $23,000.00 per semester. Unlike most schools it doesn't matter how many hours you take it costs the same. As stated before, our greek housing is the cheapest option and you do have a chance to get a room in some frat housing. Idk about soroity.

Lots of good advise for transfers are on this thread. TCU is expensive but well worth the cost to be part of a superior education and campus life.

You don't live in greek housing your first year. You may never live in greek housing because slots are limited. It is cheaper than most apartments, rentals in the area.

If cost is a big concern then this wouldn't be a good fit for you anyway but yeah greek housing is cheaper. Not that desirable housing to be honest.

Of course every chapter has dues and they all differ. There is a definite costs to going greek but it is so worth it if you can do it. Housing is optional so that should play too much of a part in your decision.

Not every greek person lives in greek housing. You don't live in greek housing as a freshman. Each chapters due are also different.
