Student Campus Housing & Registration

Students are housed in the Tom Brown Pete Wright Apartment Community on the Texas Christian University (TCU) campus in Fort Worth, TX.

Students register Sunday, July 12, 2009. Second year students are prepared to help make your move-in a little easier.

Dress comfortably - it will be hot! Additional information about registration location and suitemate assignments will be emailed to you prior to school.

You are placed on a floor with other SCMS students only.

• Four (4) students are assigned to each "apartment".
• Each "apartment" has four (4) sleeping rooms, two (2) bathrooms, a seating area with a loveseat, small table, and four chairs, and a fully equipped kitchen including a refrigerator, microwave, range, and dishwasher.  
• Each room has a full sized bed, drawers, and closet.
  • One (1) set of linens is in your room when you check in. Travel space-permitting, full size bedding from home makes the dorm stay a little nicer.
