A Classroom of a Different Sort
Classrooms all look pretty much alike. Giant pecan trees, a crystal-clear river, birds singing. Not what you thought? Well, that’s the basic setup at Texas Tech University’s Junction site.
Junction offers classes in a natural setting and with an intensity that most students do not get a chance to experience. The campus, located on the edge of the Texas Hill Country along the banks of the South Llano River, provides short sessions during the summer, and what are known as intersessions immediately after the fall and spring semesters.
Take a course in hill country paradise. [more]
