When Texas Technological College opened its doors, the campus didn't even have sidewalks. In 1953, Texas Tech began regulating parking on campus with $1 residence hall parking stickers and around 5,000 permits. Now, license-plate recognition systems identify permit holders in lots. Up to 6,000 bicyclists traverse campus each day. 47 buses provide service to more than 35,000 students.
910 undergraduate students are enrolled.
