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 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.

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.

TCU Virtual Classroom

Check out our classroom virtual tour guidebooks for each of our supported buildings.  We are still creating and adding virtual manuals for each of the rooms that we support across campus.  We expect to finish this work soon.  Keep in mind that we are not including some of the non-traditional spaces that are being temporarily used due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

• Dee J. Kelly Alumni
• Ed Landreth
• Fine Arts Building

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.

WolfVision VZ-8Light4 – User Manual

Note: This video is pulled from another institution while we create our own but the content is still relevant.

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
• Speaker – Set to Crestron
• Microphone – Set to Echo Cancelling Conference ShotAV

Important :  

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.

By attending our in-person information sessions, you voluntarily assume all risks related to exposure to COVID-19.  Masks are recommended, but not required for vaccinated persons. Unvaccinated individuals are required to wear masks. Our campus visits are designed to be small. We have a limit of two guests per prospective student. Additionally, we ask that you limit your party to your immediate family only. Since space is limited, our tours will be first come, first served. We are unable to accommodate same day drop-in visits or larger, unauthorized group visits until further notice.
