Good reviews

I got a job immediately after graduating from TSTC. I practice the skills and concepts I learned in my courses at TSTC to this day. The professors at TSTC are exceptional. I am proud to be a TSTC alumni and highly recommend TSTC over TSC and UTRGV. If TSTC offered a bachelors program I would continue my college education with them!

Overall 4.5
Inexpensive and great college. I did the walk of shame and left a school from up north and came home. I feel like the instructors here are just as knowledgeable and they really care about my academic success. There is always much going on here on campus. You get out of your experience what you put in. I'm glad I came here.

The best decision I've ever made was going to TSTC for their wind energy program, hands down. More than half the class had well paying jobs lined up before graduation. The entire experience was great, the teachers truly care about their students. The campus has a very relaxed atmosphere.
