8 Reasons TCU Is Astronomically Better Than SMU And Baylor
Kat Nestor

Everybody already knows this is true, but in case you forgot or are still a non-believer, here's the lowdown on why The Fort reigns supreme:

1. Baylor's endowment? $1.15 billion. SMU's endowment? $1.5 billion. TCU's endowment? $1.75 billion. So, what exactly does this mean? Well...it means that the endowment to student ratio is approximately $200,000 to one student. In layman's terms, TCU has a lot of money to build and buy a lot of really nice things for its students (and they waste no time in doing so).



Sure, SMU, you're rated above TCU in "attractive student body" and "party scene", and Baylor has a 6'7'' 410 pound tight end, but at least TCU is better at everything else; TCU is better at everything that actually matters.

The dynamics of any friend group are usually determined by the personalities which make it up. Chances are, while personalities may overlap, each person in your friend group holds his or her own place. It is the differences which bring the groups together and keep them functioning. No matter how functionally dysfunctional your friend group may be, if you're anything like me, you feel absolutely blessed to have found such a wonderful group of humans to call "your people."
