Texas Tech University Top Questions

It is a Greek life at Tech!! I am not part of it...but it exists. Students wear nice clothing, if you can pay to go to college at Tech, you might as well look nice!! Professors are generally liberal, while, I believe, students are more conservative.

Tech doesn't really have the most diverse student body. For the most part, it consists mainly of conservative straight caucasians with a few other races sprinkled here and there. There's not really any sort of discrimination between the students at Tech, though. They're surprisingly open-minded most of the time.

The student body is like family,we all look out for each other & the RA's are always available & ready to help out.

Its great!!

This is a conservative place. However their behaviors are anything but conservative. Most students were tshirts and jeans to class and ugg boots with shorts, which I have never understood but whatever. People that are not into acting like Paris Hilton may feel somewhat out of place, but everyone can find a group that they belong in. I would say that upper class SES students are usually the ones that come to TTU however there is some diversity depending on what part of the campus you are on. Students here think they are politically aware of what is going on however if you ask them to back up their comments most buckle and have no idea what they are really talking about OR they may think they are republican but everything they are saying and they want is clearly democrat but they would never admit that because they are "never wrong."

Race relations suck here. I could list all the sucky racist stuff that happened here but I will refrain. That's west Texas, that Lubbock, that's Tech. It sucks, people really believe the stereotypes here. Sorority and Fraternity's are the most annoying group of people because they walk around like they own Tech because their parents have money. The only problem is that they are the main reason the freshman dorms suck because they find joy in getting drunk all the time. You can make some amazing friends here though. I have second family at Tech. I have ventured out of my culture many times. I have a group of Indian friends, I have my Jesus crowd, white people, black people, everyone. The fact that Tech is so conservative has nothing to do with the fact that people are informed and has everything to do with the fact that people are following in mommy and daddy's shoes.

Overall, the student body is very diverse. I have met so many different people, and I have so many groups of friends that are alot of different.

If you are not in a frat/ sorority, you might feel a little out of place.

tech is like all schools mostly Caucasian but i do see some diversity we dont have any racial issues like people said i would have when i came over here for the most part everyone gets along greek life is still and will always be full of jerks spending daddy's money

Every one is really nice and excepting.
