For what you pay for your education at TTU, the quality of the education received is rather good. Granted, I can only claim to know much about the physics and math departments, but they are both very good, especially considering the limited resources that the university is afforded. While other schools do have more opportunities available to students to continue their studies (and thereby more competition among students), TTU is an excellent undergraduate institution, making the transition into further academics or careers as smooth as possible.

That being said, the university is not without its faults. It is sometimes the case that the administration acts contrary to the needs of the university (for example, attaching extra fees to tuition for paying somewhat well-known artists to perform at the university each semester and giving away a limited number of tickets for free to students who, for the most part, resell the tickets for a profit). While this level of ineptitude is not unique to TTU's administration, it is possible to overlook this in light of the quality of education offered.
