Student Life
Female students are currently housed in DeMoss Hall, with males being housed in the Wagner-Alumni and Lennon dormitories. The campus cafeteria serves three meals on Sunday, two on Saturday, and is open from 7:15-7:00 p.m on weekdays. There is a post office, bookstore, coffeeshop and computer lab. The Cierpke Memorial Library contains thousands of volumes as well as a quiet study area and a large research department. Spiritual enrichment is an important part of campus life; chapel is held twice a week and all students are required to attend. Prayer groups are held on Monday nights in the dormitories. Campus activities include a Homecoming formal, a yearly Missions conference, the Judgment Day production, and various student-led trips and outings.
Athletics include men and women's basketball, men and women's soccer, men's baseball, women's softball, men's and women's cross country, women's volleyball, and men's wrestling. The Crusaders are a part of NCCAA.
Church attendance is seen as a vital part of a student's growth. All students are required to connect with a local church and attend faithfully. Freshmen are required to attend Highland Park Baptist Church for the first year.
TTU holds to "the historical Baptist position regarding doctrine and conduct." Students are expected to abide by the Handbook and the guidelines therein. Curfew is at 12:30am Saturday through Thursday and 1:00am on Friday. Male students may be in the lobby of the women's dorm between 11 a.m. and 11 p.m. but are not allowed in the living area. Shorts are not permitted in class or chapel. Although, professional dress is encouraged in the classroom, students are allowed to wear sweatpants and t-shirts. Drinking, smoking, and gambling are against the Handbook and students who participate in these activities are subject to disciplinary action.

Famous quotes containing the words student and/or life:
“The student of Nature wonders the more and is astonished the less, the more conversant he becomes with her operations; but of all the perennial miracles she offers to his inspection, perhaps the most worthy of admiration is the development of a plant or of an animal from its embryo.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
“We only seem to learn from Life that Life doesn’t matter so much as it seemed to do—it’s not so burningly important, after all, what happens. We crawl, like blinking sea-creatures, out of the Ocean onto a spur of rock, we creep over the promontory bewildered and dazzled and hurting ourselves, then we drop in the ocean on the other side: and the little transit doesn’t matter so much.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
