At Texas State Technical College in Waco, you're in the Heart of Texas, located between Dallas and Austin and home to more than 200,000 residents in the Greater Waco area. The college town – complete with TSTC, a community college and Baylor University – offers an abundance of shopping, restaurants and museums in addition to an aquatic center, tennis complex, zoo and much more. The city is the birthplace of Dr. Pepper, the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame as well as the home to the Waco Mammoth Site and the world’s longest lazy river at Barefoot Ski Ranch (BSR) Cable Park.

The college campus is often called a community within a community, with more than 600 homes on campus to provide housing for our students with families, and apartment-style and dormitory living for single students living on campus. While our number one focus is your success in learning and preparation for your future career, student life outside the classroom involves activities at the recreation center, including basketball, baseball/softball, racquetball, volleyball and fitness training.
