Texas Tech University prides itself on being a major comprehensive research university that retains the sense of a smaller liberal arts institution. Although enrollment is over 32,000. Texas Tech students boast of one-on-one interaction with top faculty and an environment that stresses student accomplishment above all else. We're large enough to provide the best in facilities and academics, but small enough to focus on YOU.

Physical and Mental Health

It's no secret that many college students spend most of their time on campus stressed out. Balancing classes, tests, projects, extra-curricular activities and work is enough to make anyone feel overwhelmed, especially with final exams right around the corner. 

Having stress in your life is unavoidable, but there are steps students can take to mitigate its effects on their lives and health.

Texas Tech is committed to offering students opportunities to maintain healthy bodies and minds. TTU students should take advantage of:

• Rec Sports
• Student Health Services
• Student Counseling
• Student Disability Services

First-Generation College Students

Your parents didn't graduate from a four-year college, and that means that you're the first in your family to really learn about college through the experience of being there.

First Generation Transition & Mentoring Programs help you explore with purpose and succeed with panache. Pegasus is the mythological horse that can fly. You are the one in your family who will go beyond what you've dreamed. You are now cleared for takeoff!
