This northwest Texas university comprises a vast 1,850 acres, but elegant Spanish-style buildings and attractively landscaped grounds give the campus an old-fashioned collegial feel. Nearly 23,000 undergraduates attend Texas Tech, and the university requires its freshmen to live on campus in one of 10 residence halls. Themed floors and halls make the experience more personal. Learning communities are also available, providing freshmen with greater access to faculty and students with shared academic goals.

Texas Tech has 150 academic programs, and most undergrads choose majors in the College of Arts and Sciences. Rawls College of Business draws the second-highest number of undergraduates. Rawls recently announced a $65 million capital campaign and a new joint international business education program with the Department of Commerce, which will help U.S. businesses to expand successfully into the international community. The Goldwater Scholars Program emphasizes undergraduate research, a hallmark of the Texas Tech education.

More than 400 clubs and organizations provide enrichment outside of the classroom. Many Texas Tech students take part in the school’s Greek life and turn out for Tech’s Red Raiders football games, which usually guarantee Big XII excitement. Tech’s men’s and women’s basketball teams attract devoted fans, too.

Located in Lubbock, Texas Tech enjoys the area’s high plains climate and four distinct seasons. The birthplace of Buddy Holly, Lubbock also claims many other beloved musicians, such as Joe Ely, Butch Hancock, and Jimmie Dale Gilmore. The Depot District, with its lively clubs and live music venues, hosts a steady stream of Tech students.
