It makes my heart so happy to finally announce that Texas Woman’s University is the newest addition to the Odyssey team! My name is Kelsey Hall and I am the Editor and Chief of TWU Odyssey. I couldn’t be happier to share in my college experiences with all of you! TWU is a relatively smaller campus smack-dab in the middle of Denton, Texas and, before you all comment with questions, yes we do have boys at Texas Woman’s University (11.2 percent).
TWU is mostly a commuter-based school with amazing nursing and kinesiology programs. We have really small, intimate classrooms, which I personally love, also one of the prettiest and most extensive libraries; if you are a bookworm like me, you will be like a kid in a candy store.
So without further ado, here are nine things about TWU that no one knows:
1. Even though we are a commuter school, faculty has more parking than students.
2. It takes exactly 10 minuets and 37 seconds to walk from one side of campus to the other.
3. The entire basement of the TWU library is filled completely with children's books.
4. The first graduating class of TWU consisted of only one person - Beulah Kincaid (you go, girl!)
5. Men were finally allowed to enroll at TWU in 1994.
6. TWU's choir has preformed at Carnegie Hall in New York.
7. We have a church on campus that holds lots of weddings throughout the year.
8. Every year, we have an event called Spring Fling. We have a golf cart parade that students organize; afterwards, we have lots of food and fun! It is one of the most anticipated events on campus of the year!
9. To everyone's surprise, we actually have fraternities on campus.
Not many people know about Texas Women’s University and for that reason I wanted us to be apart of Odyssey, so others can know how amazing this school really is. Though we may be small, we are mighty!
