Students from across the Lone Star State and beyond come to 鈥渁ffordable鈥 Texas Tech for 鈥渢he benefits and resources of a large university,鈥 such as a 鈥渉uge variety of majors and classes鈥 and 鈥渁 lot of organizations with opportunities for internships and networking.鈥 Students believe the university, as a whole, 鈥渢ruly cares about its students.鈥 They describe professors who are 鈥渧ery intelligent,鈥 鈥渆xperienced,鈥 鈥減assionate鈥 about what they teach, and 鈥渁lways available.鈥 They describe an administration that 鈥渉as a vested interest in the success of each student.鈥 Still, at such a big school, students must take total responsibility for their education. 鈥淐lasses are what you make them. You can fall asleep, or you can participate. The more advanced your classes are, the more your classes will be discussion-based rather than lecture-based, and probably the more you鈥檒l get out of them.鈥 Some students complain that they 鈥渦sually have teaching assistants and graduate students that teach鈥 their classes, that does not seem to be a problem in the Honors College. 鈥淏ecause Lubbock is the 鈥榟ub city鈥 of west Texas, businesses from all over the area come to Tech to recruit and inform students on opportunities. While many students decide not to attend Tech because it is in a somewhat isolated location, it seems this is actually beneficial when it comes to enticing recruiting, career fairs, and special guests because such a large surrounding area is drawn to Tech.鈥
