Texas Christian University Virtual Tour

Are you applying to texas christian university explore the campus using the virtual tour below..

Virtual tours are a great way to refresh your memory or to preview an on-site tour of TCU.

Do I Really Need to Take a Tour?

At the beginning of your college search, a virtual tour can be a beneficial tool to explore the campus before your visit. When you do visit the campus, be sure to talk to current students about their experiences. A student perspective is a helpful way to gauge your future experience when attending Texas Christian University. Already took an on-campus tour? It's inevitable. All of your college tours will blend, and you might forget the appearance of TCU's library, dorms, or cafeteria. Use the virtual tour to jog your memory! With the interactive mapping tool below you can even explore the area surrounding the campus.

Use the resources below to start your virtual tour.

Using the Map

Click and drag the little orange person to a location on the map. Locations with panoramas appear as blue lines or blue dots when moving the orange person. The blue dots are panoramic views that you may swivel. The blue lines are paths that you can navigate along.

Panoramic View

You can "pan" or "swivel" the camera around by clicking on the image and dragging your mouse or finger. If you see a white arrow on the picture, you can click or tap on it to move in the direction of the arrow. This will also update the location of the little orange person on the map so you can get a better sense of where you are and what direction you are facing.

The College Tour launches an episode on TCU

TCU got a close-up.

The university is now featured in “The College Tour,” a new series that visits universities across the world featuring students who talk about their experiences. Students gathered in the Campus Commons last month to watch the premiere.

Each episode is meant to provide more in-depth information than the average college tour. Several TCU students were selected to give a glimpse into their lives and why they chose their college.

“A lot of schools have virtual tours but they don’t do the schools justice,” said Burton Roberts, who was an executive producer along with Alex Boylan. “If you have a virtual tour at TCU, you may see some images of the buildings but it’s totally different when you get an in-person tour.”

TCU’s 32-minute episode highlighted 10 diverse students who chose TCU for the small school community feel with the school spirit of a big university.

TCU junior, Nand Javia, was one of the 10 students to share a unique story.

Javia, who is from India, spoke of the difficulties of trying to find a university to attend as an international student. He also shared his educational journey with others by posting videos on YouTube. Javia says he wants to educate other international students about his unique pathway and attending college in the U.S.

The episode is intended to showcase everything the university has to offer.

“We’re telling the story of people, the students, the community of TCU, the place Fort Worth and the culture of the school and the students and everything else,” Roberts says. “If you’re not there to see it, you have to watch it and you have to hear it through the people, and it was awesome to be able to help bridge that gap.”

The full episode can be viewed on The College Tour website , on The College Tour app or on Amazon Prime.

Texas Christian University (TCU) Transfers: 2024 Requirements, Dates, GPAs & More

How effective are texas christian university (tcu) virtual tours.

It depends how you use them. Texas Christian University (TCU) is a hustling, bustling campus and community. The beauty of Texas Christian University (TCU) virtual tours on CampusReel is that authentic video tours, made by real students, can be spectacular at capturing the Texas Christian University (TCU) vibe. We also go well beyond the confines of the Texas Christian University (TCU) campus by taking you around Fort Worth. In traditional virtual tours, you will mostly see still, unengaging images and will not see the surrounding area at all – which is why CampusReel virtual tours are so important.

Can a Texas Christian University (TCU) virtual tour replace a traditional in-person visit?

If you cannot visit Texas Christian University (TCU) in person, then we can honestly say that we believe a CampusReel virtual tour of Texas Christian University (TCU) is absolutely the most effective and holistic way to understand the Texas Christian University (TCU) people, campus and community. However, if you do plan on visiting Texas Christian University (TCU) and other colleges in person, we strongly recommend that you at least prescreen your college options on CampusReel before spending the time and money to visit. Most prospective families find that as soon as the step on campus, they instantly know whether or not they like the school – but they’ve already spent all that time and money getting there! Our goal is to eliminate all the time and money visiting Texas Christian University (TCU) in person until you can make a strong educated guess that it’s worth the investment.

What places can I virtually tour at Texas Christian University (TCU)?

For your convenience, below is a list of Texas Christian University (TCU) places you can virtually tour on CampusReel.

• Amon G. Carter Stadium at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Texas Christian University at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Texas Christian University-Neeley School of Business at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Frog Fountain at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Market Square at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Scharbauer Hall at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Rees Jones Hall at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• Milton Daniel Hall at Texas Christian University (TCU)
• 2901 S University Dr at Texas Christian University (TCU)

What are the downsides of a Texas Christian University (TCU) virtual tour?

The downside of virtually touring Texas Christian University (TCU) on CampusReel is that, admittedly, our technology does not yet mimic the exact feeling and experience of visiting Texas Christian University (TCU) in person. We are working on this though! A common request we also receive from users is to add more perspectives (e.g. student guides) to the platform. Rest assured we are working on adding more CampusReel guides to the Texas Christian University (TCU) virtual tour. However, our selection of guides still far outweighs the available perspectives of traditional virtual tour platforms.

What are the benefits of a Texas Christian University (TCU) virtual tour?

The most obvious benefit of a Texas Christian University (TCU) virtual tour on CampusReel is that is can be accessed from anywhere. This can save families a lot of time and money compared to visiting Texas Christian University (TCU) in person . Another often overlooked benefit of a CampusReel virtual tour is that it goes far beyond a traditional in person tour Texas Christian University (TCU) . Campus visits are limited both in time and scope – how are you expected to truly understand a college in a 1 hour tour? That’s why we stress the added benefit of CampusReel virtual tours – experience Texas Christian University (TCU) and Fort Worth during different seasons, days of the week, and even hours of the day. What’s game day like? What is finals week life? Again, traditional virtual touring platforms don’t include this benefit.

Admission unveils retooled digital viewbook, virtual tour

In August, TCU Admission launched its revamped digital viewbook, which blends videography, photography, infographics and social media in a responsive, single-page microsite.

TCU admission officials revamped two primary digital tools for recruiting students—the online viewbook and virtual tour . Both launched in August. 

Look Around, the online viewbook that was renamed by a panel of current students, blends videography, photography, infographics and social media in a responsive, single-page microsite. Highlighted by a full-screen, editorial-style video, the viewbook presents an overview of popular university aspects (academics, residential life, campus involvement, Fort Worth amenities) in a cinematic treatment.

“For many people, [the viewbook] is their first impression and introduction to TCU,” said Elizabeth Rainwater ’00 (MBA ’10), director of admission marketing. “We’re so pleased that it’s on trend. We did a lot of research on it. We love that it’s all on one page, so users simply have to scroll to see all sections of the site.”

But there are opportunities for deeper exploration. Every factoid and photograph links to a university website or a news report about the university. “It’s not just TCU telling its own brag points,” she said. “You can read how The Princeton Review ranked our faculty or what The Huffington Post blogged about our residence halls.”

An admission team worked with the Lawlor Group, a higher education consulting firm, to reimagine the university’s original “online look-book,” which went digital in 2012.

“The campus has changed so much in the past three years—really, it is constantly evolving—so it’s important to showcase the most up-to-date look,” said Rainwater.

One of the microsite’s most popular elements is the dynamic social media feed on the far right side. Using the aggregator tool, Tagboard, the feed pulls in postings about TCU from Twitter, Facebook, Vine, Google+, Instagram and Flickr.

“It’s not just what we’re saying about TCU, but lots of genuine responses about how others are experiencing the campus, said Rainwater. “They’re excited about roommates, moving in, classes they registered for, new professors. It’s the university in action.”

The new virtual tour displays geo-tags for campus landmarks and university amenities.

While the viewbook’s main audiences are prospective students and their families, the microsite also provides alumni, donors, parents of current students or prospective faculty members an overview of what is happening at TCU.

To a view a day in the life of a typical TCU student, the admission department’s new virtual tour offers a first-person perspective.

Filmed over 10 months, in part with a GoPro camera, the 7 ½-minute tour takes viewers from waking up in a residence hall, sitting in on two classes, exploring Mary Couts Burnett Library, the Brown-Lupton University Union, the University Recreation Center to attending a football game and an after-game concert.

There’s no audio, but the tour features a rock-music soundtrack, while geo-tags point to campus landmarks or university amenities along the way.

Viewers can skip around to different sections of the tour, but they might miss clever details, such as entering a racquetball match, holding the “Fear the Frog” banner, or watching a cameo appearance by Chancellor Victor J. Boschini, Jr.

“It’s a totally unique, outside-the-box way of showing the traditional campus tour,” said Rainwater. “A test-audience of recent alumni told us it made them want to be students again.”

Nick Utter Productions and Ardent Creative, both based in Fort Worth, helped film and edit the virtual tour.

Control Panels

This video covers managing and using the Crestron control system that we have in about 50% of the classrooms across campus. 

If your room looks a-little different, don’t worry as most of the concepts apply across all spaces with a control panel.

Special Note : 

Always turn the system off when you are done with the space and leave all remotes, keyboards and clickers behind.

Using AirMedia

Airmedia is a fantastic tool that allows you to wirelessly broadcast your screen from a laptop or mobile device up to the projection surface. 

All you have to do is visit www.tcu.edu/airmedia to download the software and watch the video about how to connect to the system.

Special Note:   You can use AirMedia to project information up to the screen in the room and then share your screen via Zoom for your offsite students.

Classroom Manual

Note : This manual will match about 50% of our campus classrooms. If you are in a room that looks different don’t worry as the concepts in most rooms are very much the same.

“We have put together a written guide to help you learn how to use the AV equipment in the classrooms. You can print the guide or refer to it online anytime that you have questions.”

Document Cameras

We have two types of document cameras in the classrooms.  We use the Epson DC-21 and the Wolfvision VZ-8Light4.  Both units and very easy to use and are very similar in terms of functionality.  Generally all you have to do is select the document camera option on the Crestron control panel and turn the document camera on.  In order to get things working.  Please refer to the following video and user manual to learn more about these devices.

Using Video Cameras & Mics

Video Camera & Mic Settings

The cameras and mics in the rooms will connect up to the instructor stations in the classrooms.  This is where you should always join the zoom session when doing virtual presentations.  If there is not an instructor station in the room, then you can use the usb cables to connect the cameras and mics to your laptop.

Changes to Your Settings

We recommend that you make the following changes to the zoom settings in each of the classrooms that you use a camera or mic in to improve performance.  Just open Zoom, login and then click the gear icon in the top left hand corner to access your Zoom settings.  These changes should be made in each classroom that you use Zoom in. 

Video Settings

• Turn OFF Enable HD
• Turn OFF Mirror my Video
• Turn ON Touch Up My Appearance
• Turn ON Adjust for Low Light

Audio Settings

• Turn ON Automatically Join Computer Audio When Joining A Meeting

You also need to adjust the sound input and output settings.  Click the icon next to the mute button, Select Echo Cancelling Speakersphone for Microphone and Select Crestron for Speaker.

Classroom Update

What is going in these rooms.

As part of our response to the COVID-19 pandemic we are installing and modifying equipment in 250+ classrooms to add cameras/mics and document camera access to zoom. See the videos and image below to get a better idea of what we are installing in these spaces. 

We have been working hard to install this equipment and expect to be done with most rooms by the end of the day on August 12th, 2020 . If you would like to see what is slated to go into your room and the status of that install, please click the button below.

April 22, 2024 - Protests at Columbia and other schools escalate

Matt Egan, Alicia Wallace and Chandelis Duster

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology says it is 'determining next steps'

From CNN's Jillian Sykes

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology issued a statement Monday regarding tents on its campus.

"MIT officials are aware of the tents, and are determining next steps with a focus on ensuring campus is physically safe and fully functioning. MIT Police were on scene throughout the night and will continue to be present."

Robert Kraft says he is willing to support The Kraft Center at the university

From CNN's Chandelis Duster

Robert Kraft, billionaire owner of the NFL’s New England Patriots and backer of Columbia University, on Monday said he is still willing to support The Kraft Center at the school that supports Jewish students, calling it “a haven of safety.”

Kraft, an alumnus of the university, told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “The Lead” that he loves the school and “we have to have accountability.”

“There are both professors and students within the university who say things that I think cross the line and there should be accountability. I believe in free speech. Say whatever you want but pay the consequences. And don't have your face covered. I don't think that should be allowed,” he said.  

“I can’t believe in New York City at Columbia University Jewish students are afraid to go to classes in the United States of America in 2024. It’s amazing to me and horrible,” Kraft also said.

Asked where he drew the line at Columbia University regarding both pro-Palestine and pro-Israel protests and what he finds objectionable, he said “there is a lack of education on the situation” happening in the Middle East. 

“I’m concerned about America and what’s going on in this country. And to keep it open and free for all people of all backgrounds to do as they wish,” he said.

Asked if he has confidence in Columbia University’s president, Minouche Shafik, he said he thinks she is “very well intentioned” and said “we have to look at what goes on with faculty.”

Columbia faculty stage walk-out in solidarity with students

From CNN's John Towfighi

Hundreds of people gathered on Low Plaza Monday afternoon as Columbia University faculty delivered speeches in support of the student protesters who were suspended and arrested Thursday.

Faculty who spoke denounced university president Minouche Shafik’s decision to authorize the New York Police Department to remove protesters from campus and demanded all legal and disciplinary charges be dismissed and expunged from students' records.

Faculty held signs that read, “Hands off our students,” and “End student suspensions now.” Some faculty donned their academic regalia and wore sashes that read, “We support students.”

Speeches were met with cheers and claps from the crowd, as well as chants for Shafik to resign.

Christopher Brown, a professor of history, said, “I’m here because I am so concerned about what is happening at this university, with where we are now and with where we are going. Thursday April 18, 2024, will be remembered as a shameful day in Columbia history.”

“The president’s decision to send riot police to pick up peaceful protesters on our campus was unprecedented, unjustified, disproportionate, divisive and dangerous,” Brown said.

US Rep. Ilhan Omar, whose daughter Isra Hirsi was among the protesters arrested Thursday , posted on X that while she’s glad to see faculty demonstrate in solidarity with students, she wants the protests to focus on Gaza.

"On Thursday, Columbia arrested and suspended its students who were peacefully protesting and have now ignited a nationwide Gaza Solidarity movement. This is more than the students hoped for and I am glad to see this type of solidarity. But to be clear, this about the genocide in Gaza and the attention has to remain on that," Omar wrote.

NYC Mayor condemns "vile" and "disgusting" rhetoric at college campuses

From CNN's Alicia Wallace

New York City Mayor Eric Adams on Monday condemned “vile” and “disgusting” rhetoric being used at campuses such as Columbia University, where students are holding protests over the Israel-Hamas War.

Adams told CNN’s Jake Tapper that he supports First Amendment rights but said law enforcement officials are on the ready if any of that speech goes too far or if there’s an imminent threat to people or property.

"That is one of the fundamental rights we hold dear as Americans: The right to protest," Adams said on CNN's "The Lead." "What we have seen playing out on many of our college campuses, and particularly Columbia University, is hate. We’re seeing vile language being used."

Adams noted that he can feel the "duality of this moment" and how the events of the past six months are weighing heavily on Jewish and Palestinian New Yorkers. He added that the police escorts of Jewish students through campus were reminiscent of the Army soldiers who escorted nine Black students into a high school in Little Rock, Arkansas, nearly 67 years ago.

"There is no place for hate in this city," he said.

New York Police Department officers have a “large presence” surrounding Columbia but have remained off the campus grounds at the request of the school’s administration, NYPD deputy commissioners said earlier on Monday.

Adams told Tapper that the NYPD’s commissioner of legal matter is monitoring the protests for any speech that violates law. Additionally, police officers will take "appropriate action" and go on private property if there’s an "imminent threat."

Protesters gather at The New School in New York City

Protesters have gathered at The New School, located near the Chelsea area of the New York City borough of Manhattan.

An encampment of four tents was set up in the lobby of the building that houses auditoriums, a cafeteria and a library. Roughly 75 students, and other people who have The New School IDs, gathered inside the building.

"Disclose, divest, we will not stop, we will not stop, we will not rest," was repeatedly chanted. 

Outside the building, protesters from the school, as well as outsiders, joined in chants from the sidewalk.

There is a stark difference between the inside and outside of Columbia University's campus

From CNN's Ramishah Maruf

There’s a stark difference between the inside of Columbia University's campus and the outside, where there are protesters gathered on the street. 

The encampment is only open to those affiliated with campus. Only those with a Columbia ID can enter the campus gates. Inside the encampment, programs include teach-ins, poetry readings and film screenings. Some students are quietly finishing assignments, while others are painting posters.

Elsewhere around campus, students are eating and completing assignments. Many students take graduation pictures at this time, and some are in graduation gowns walking down Broadway. Risers are set up for an upcoming commencement ceremony.

Other students are holding large American flags underneath Butler Library.

But the students can still hear the tension that is taking place yards away at the university gates. There is a gathering of pro-Palestinian protesters, who in the early afternoon were chanting “I believe that we will win” and “Long Live the Intifada.” There was a smaller group of pro-Israeli protesters, who chanted back “Down with Hamas” and “Victory to Israel.” A line of New York Police officers were monitoring the street.

What it's like inside the Columbia University encampment

The inside of the encampment is quiet – most of the noise comes from protestors outside the gates of Columbia University's campus, who are chanting “I believe that we will win” and “Long live the Intifada."

It was a sunny day on campus, and in one corner, students were painting posters. One person strummed a stringed instrument, and other students are reading books or on their laptops finishing assignments. Others have donated provisions, ranging from a table of snacks to hygiene products. There was also a pile of blankets.

“We’ve just been trying to keep students mobilized and keep pushing for divestment,” Dalia, a first-year student at Columbia College, told CNN. “We are a very mobilized student body and a very unified student body. Hundreds of people have been in and out of the encampment.”

CNN agreed not to publish her surname due to safety concerns.

She said the students at the campus “refuse to be complicit in the genocide, the apartheid, and the occupation of Palestine.”

There are strict community guidelines for the encampment. One rule says not to share names or details of anyone met in camp, and asking for permission before photographing or taking video.

The encampment is filled with dozens and dozens of tents, from students to neighboring Barnard College staff. Today’s encampment program included an Earth Day performance, poetry reading and a Dabka lesson, a traditional dance from the Arab region. Prior program events included dance performances from different cultures.

Democratic House members tour Columbia campus

Democratic Reps. Jared Moskowitz of Florida, Josh Gottheimer of New Jersey, Dan Goldman of New York and Kathy Manning of North Carolina, who are all Jewish, spoke at a news conference Monday after touring Columbia University’s campus. 

"We saw it firsthand as we walked past the encampments on the university's main lawn full of protesters spewing incendiary antisemitic hate and vitriol. Many aren't even Columbia students I've been told. Their campaign of intimidation is sickening and shocking and as the White House said yesterday, ‘echoes the rhetoric of Hamas terrorists,'" Gottheimer said. 

He also criticized Columbia University leadership, saying, “toothless combinations from administrators aren't going to stop the anarchy we’re seeing.”

“The only way to do it is with deeds, not words,” Gottheimer said. “Colleges have a legal obligation under Title VI of the Civil Rights Act to provide students, including Jews and Muslims, a school environment free from discrimination and harassment based on race color or national origin. Yet just feet from here, Jewish students are being verbally and even physically assaulted.”

Gottheimer continued, “To the administrators of Columbia and beyond, here are our demands: Stop the double talk and start acting now. Discipline harassers, restore civility on this campus, encourage peaceful constructive dialogue.”

He also gave a message for students: “While the leadership of Columbia may be failing you, we will not. We will do everything in our power to keep you safe and do everything in Washington we can to make sure that you feel welcome at this university or any university across the United States of America. And Columbia University, if they don't follow through, will pay the price.”

Goldman said he was "encouraged" the Columbia University president issued guidelines about additional security, calling it a "very important first step" and criticized what is happening on campus.

"That is unacceptable for a university, that is unacceptable for an academic institution. There is no question that everyone has a First Amendment right to speak out in this country and that must be preserved," Goldman said. "But a university and all universities have an obligation to maintain the safety and security of their students from all backgrounds."

Manning said university leadership should "do more to keep Jewish students safe and to re-establish an atmosphere in which all students can learn, study and participate safely in campus life."

"Columbia must also move forward with its promised efforts to teach its students and its faculty about the nature and history and dangers of antisemitism. It must ensure that Columbia professors are not encouraging and spreading antisemitism," Manning said.

"I call on the US Department of Education and the US Department of Justice to work with the White House to ensure that all universities take steps necessary to keep Jewish students and faculty safe. I also call on Congress to enact legislation to implement the steps outlined in the US national strategy to counter antisemitism, to address the scourge of antisemitism which is a threat to the foundations of our democracy," she said.

President Joe Biden condemns antisemitism on campus

From CNN's Kevin Liptak

President Joe Biden decried antisemitic protests around college campuses Monday and said his administration was working to combat anti-Jewish hatred.

"I condemn the antisemitic protests, that’s why I’ve set up a program to deal with that," Biden said when questioned about the events at Columbia University in New York.

"I also condemn those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians," he said, without expanding upon what he meant.

Biden was speaking after an Earth Day event in Prince William Forest Park in Triangle, Virginia.

When asked whether Columbia's president should resign, Biden appeared to mishear: "I didn’t know that. I'll have to find out more," he said.
