Connecting and Finding a Home

TCU is a residential campus, with over 5,000 students living in campus facilities. But Housing & Residence Life is about more than just providing clean, safe residential facilities. Their goal is to turn residence halls at TCU into caring communities where individuals can learn to make college feel like home.

Every day at TCU 139 Residence Assistants and 14 Hall Directors show encouragement, caring, and support to TCU students living on campus. This group is a part of Housing & Residence Life, and they are living its mission: to empower students to develop authentic relationships and inclusive communities while providing an exceptional residential experience. Parker Gonzalez, a pre-business major, struggled his freshman year with isolation and loneliness. Parker explains how the resident assistants in Moncrief Hall felt like a family to him and helped him during this time of isolation. “They all came from different walks of life yet were all bonded together and worked to make my first year as connected as possible. Their empathy, along with my hall director, saved me from a year of despair as their aid helped me become consistent in my habits and find a positive outlook on life.”

Easily, the most rewarding part of being a hall director is walking alongside your residents as they figure out the person they want to become.
