Why Tech?
Wess Mitchell, BA/History, Political Science and German, 2001, asked two questions when looking at colleges: "How much time will the faculty spend with me?" and "Is this school moving forward or just resting on its laurels?" His answers led him to Texas Tech.
"I chose Texas Tech because of the up-front interactions I had with the people there and the smaller class sizes. Texas Tech is going places."
