Alexis Salcido

WHY TCU?
Terrible, but true — I wanted to go to college in Texas simply because it rhymed with my name. But after visiting TCU, I knew I wanted to go to college in Texas because it had everything I pictured college life to be: a gorgeous campus, school spirit, Greek life and genuine people.

FAVORITE PROFESSOR?
Without a doubt, Karen Lindsey! She is my queen and such a great mentor. I have learned so much from her, both inside and outside of the classroom. Her passion for helping others is undeniable. If it wasn’t for her, I would have never had the confidence to apply for the internship of my dreams at D Magazine. She is a true inspiration and her positive energy is contagious.

FAVORITE CLASS?
My favorite class so far has been Intro to Art History. Partially because I am a nerd, but also it pushed me beyond my comfort zone. It opened my eyes to a field that I never knew I would be so in love with and made me want to continue.
