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 who secures his coveted leisure and retirement by systematically shirking any labor necessary to man obtains but an ignoble and unprofitable leisure, defrauding himself of the experience which alone can make leisure fruitful.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“‘Tis of the essence of life here,
Though we choose greatly, still to lack
The lasting memory at all clear,
That life has for us on the wrack
Nothing but what we somehow chose;
Thus are we wholly stripped of pride
In the pain that has but one close,
Bearing it crushed and mystified.”
—Robert Frost (1874–1963)
