We strongly encourage parents to attend Orientation with their student. Experience indicates that the orientation process is more beneficial if students and their parents attend together.
Some activities are for students only, some are for parents only, and some are for both.
Other family members are welcome - however, no activities will be planned for them. Parents who attend alone will be paired with another parent as a roommate. Of course, parents may also stay off campus. Click here for a list of several TCU-area hotels. In August, students assigned to a residence hall for the fall semester will check into their permanent room assignment.
