What are your general comments?

I was really impressed with this school. The interviews were very laid back. The friendliness of Lubbock is quite inviting. There is enough stuff to keep you busy in the town without having to worry about traffic or big city life. The students seem genuinely happy and have great relationships with each other. Tech needs to have more confidence in itself because this school seems like a diamond in the rough.
