Texas Tech University Top Questions

The worst thing about Texas Tech is the size of the campus, you will usually have to plan your classes according to their location. For example, you have 10 min inbetween classes, and if your classes are on separate sides of the campus, its virtually impossible to get to class on time, even taking the buses.

All of the alcohol - but that is most public universities. It is harder to be social if you don't want alcohol involved, but it is still very possible. There are many clubs on campus that don't involve alcohol. It just feels like a large portion of the population drinks.

I think the worst thing is the financial aid just because there are so many students, like me, struggling way more than they should.

The alcohol and drug use in the social scenes. Especially during sporting events, specifically football games.

The worst thing about my school is its location. I legitimately don’t have a negative thing to say about Texas Tech as an institution other than its proximity to nothing but farmland once you drive out of the city limits of Lubbock. That said, Lubbock is truly a college town. The few hundred thousand locals support Tech’s students to the point that there is such a wonderful sense of community that although it is secluded, it really feels like home, although it might not be the big city that many students are accustomed to.

At Texas Tech, I would have to say one of the worst problems would be the problem with alcohol-related deaths. I feel as if some students turn to alcohol under the impression that there are few things to do in Lubbock, when actually it's not that way at all. I wish I could help out those students making bad decisons to prevent horrible and unncessary deaths from becoming something that is normally here in Lubbock.

It's hard to say what the worst part of my school is when I love my university. I would have to say that it is located in a small city. Somethimes being in a small city is hard when you want to do something other than go to a movie or eat. I also like the small city though because it makes it easy to get around and learn where I am.

The thing I would consider to be the worst thing about Texas Tech are the elevators in my dorm hall. They are extremely slow.

I came from an extremely diverse high school where, as a caucasian, I was almost a minority. I greatly enjoyed having diverse friend groups with people from all over the world. At my university, the diversity is still there, but it is obvious that there is a majority of caucasians. I was unsure if I would enjoy my social life at first, but I easily made friends and look forward to the steady increase of international students and a greater diversification at the university.

Such a large campus.
