Aritzia’s CEO Jennifer Wong confirmed Fort Worth as one of four “new markets” Aritzia would enter during their fiscal 2027 (March 2026-March 2027) during a recent investor conference call.

No exact location was mentioned, although it will likely be either University Park Village or The Shops at Clearfork. That said, at roughly 10,000 square feet, the space Pottery Barn is leaving at UPV closely fits their square footage requirements.

Aritzia will open two new DFW locations during their fiscal 2027; in addition to newly-confirmed Fort Worth location, another location is already under construction at Galleria Dallas.

At TCU, there's a professor, Dick Rinewalt, who teaches 2 of the main computer science (COSC) classes. These classes are COSC 20203 and COSC 20803. I've finished my 1st of college at TCU, and in the 1st spring semester, you'll usually take COSC 20203 (techniques in programming). Btw, I'm gonna try to give an honest critique of this guy and not rant on too much.

Critiques:

• Doesn't answer emails sometimes (I guess he chooses which emails to respond to)
• Doesn't use slides (even tho he's a tech professor)
• Graded our lab assignments AFTER finals week was over
• Labs themselves had ZERO correlation to the concepts we actually learned in class, meaning labs were VERY hard to complete
• SUPER boring lectures, as all he does is just read the code he's written
• Can't prepare for exams since the only resource you have that can resemble the exams is HIS programs
• Some of the stuff he teaches is actually concepts that are in COSC 20803 (data structures), the class you take AFTER COSC 20203. Except none of those concepts show up on the exam, so what's the point?
• In my experience, the first time I tried to go to this man's office hours, he wasn't there at the designated time HE set, and so I had to wait 30 MINUTES for him to show up.
• About 1/3 or 1/2 of the class dropped near the end of the semester, which, imo, wasn't because the content itself was hard but simply the professor's fault.
• The only positives I can say are that for the first 5 minutes of class, he does a trivia of the day (which is cool, I guess), he's nice, and he wears cool ties sometimes.

Overall, I just don't like how Dr. Rinewalt teaches, and it's such a bummer that people take him right after COSC 10403 (Intro to Programming), which is the first course to take within the computer science major. So they get to experience the Insanity difficulty that is Professor Rinewalt after COSC 10403.

TCU girls - the tanning salons never show their prices online - which one do y'all like best?

Hi guys, I'm completely new to the DFW area and I just got into TCU for graduate school which I'm ecstatic about.

I am from another college town (from TSU) and I'm used to paying around 850-1k a month for nicer end apartments. I'm not really a stickler on amenities or anything like that but I was hoping to see if there was anything in the 1k-1.2k range at the very highest.

I have a cat and do not have a car, so while being on campus is preferred (but most likely unrealistic for my price range), I wouldn't mind taking public transportation of course. I don't mind roommates but given the fact that a lot of places seem to charge by head not bed anyways I'd prefer being by myself at that point. I am open to housing opportunities like Leibrock provided by the school itself and have looked into some options but they are still really pricey or at least the application fee is.

Hi, I am an incoming Freshman in the fall! Should I get a renter‘s insurance? If so, do I get the one partnered with TCU (GradGuard) or are there any cheaper options?
