Derek

Texas Tech University is probably best known for being a great party college, but they also have a great faculty, fiercely loyal students, and a great alumni system. They have multiple experts in many fields of study, and I have yet to find a professor who does not welcome questions from students in or out of class.

Tradition. Texas Tech is firmly rooted in its time-honored traditions. The alumni have upheld those traditions and current students are expected to respect those traditions. I feel that the traditions here are a huge catlyst in bolstering school spirit, and it is something that we take very much pride in. Because of these things, most enrolled students will easily tell you that they go to the best school in the nation. The true sense of what it means to have pride and courage is found in the traditions at Texas Tech University.

Texas Tech has so many well-known programs and attributes, it is impossible to say what it is best known for. However, many would recognize the school spirit and loyalty of Texas Tech’s students. Go to any football game, rain or shine, and you are guaranteed to see and hear some of the most enthusiastic fans there have ever been. And don’t expect just to see it at football games; at any school event, you can count on rowdy, excited students to make everything more entertaining. Whether you’re naturally loud or more reserved, the enthusiasm is contagious!

Every Christmas, we have the Carol of the Lights. This is where the entire student body collectively freezes to death in the cold as we flip the switch to the Christmas Lights. This is right before the semester is over and everyone is freaking out, so the reminder that Christmas is right around the corner is always comforting!
