TOP TEN REASONS TO HAVE A STUDENT MAIL BOX
1) The cost of the box can be recovered by using some of the coupons and discounts from local merchants that are placed in the box during the year.
2) The cost of the box can be recovered by the savings the student incurs by ordering books online.
3) The USPS will only deliver to the TCU contract post office. No deliveries to dorms are made by the USPS so books and other items ordered online and shipped through the USPS will be returned to sender unknown. Some online businesses only ship via the USPS.
4) The student can keep the TCU box as his address all four years so he doesn’t have to change addresses every time the student moves.
5) You can begin mailing packages such as clothes and household items the first of August for us to hold for the student’s arrival. You cannot ship to the dorms early as they are not open until school begins.
6) If a package is lost in transit the personnel at the TCU post office is your best resource for helping you track down the package and assisting you with information on what to do in case of loss or damage.
7) UPS, FedEx and other couriers can deliver to the post office provided you address your shipment to 2901 Stadium Drive and then use your box number as the suite number.
8) Your shipments are more secure at the TCU post office than in an open area in the dorm. All packages are entered into our internal tracking system which enables us to be sure your package is delivered to the correct person. Information on the package is easily attainable from this system. Dorms are unable to provide this service and do not have full time employees available from 8:00 to 4:30 to assist you if there is a question about a package.
9) You will automatically receive an email notification once your package is entered into our tracking system.
10) The only way to receive interoffice mail is through a TCU mail box.

College students returning to campus this fall represent a record $306 billion in buying power, according to [pdf] a new study from Alloy Media & Marketing and Harris Interactive.
The 10th annual “College Explorer Study” indicates close to 16 million students ages 18-34 will enter college classes this fall, an all-time record and up 6% from about 15 million in fall 2009. Their collective $306 billion in buying power is 13% more than roughly $270 billion last year.
Showing a projected 10% increase since last year, annual discretionary spending figures for the 18-34 year old college student population will rise to an estimated $69 billion, compared to a little less than $63 billion last year. In addition, students 18-34 report they are spending 3% more per month on discretionary purchases than they did last year, for an average of $361 per student.
When asked their opinion about the future of the nation’s economy, more than four out of every 10 students (42%) stated they feel the economy will improve in the coming year. Compared to 31% of those 35 and older in the U.S. general population2 who reported the same, it appears the current student body is expressing more confidence when it comes to the country’s financial turnaround.
Male students ages 18-34 are spending more toward entertainment and technology on a monthly basis, while females lead slightly in clothing and shoes, cosmetics and cell phone purchases. However, despite stereotypes regarding male and female spending habits, males are actually spending slightly more than females for personal care products.
