Texas Tech University Top Questions

Tech is a good school if you want a semi-big atmosphere with alot to do. We aren't hard core fans like the Aggies, but everyone wears Black and Red and is proud. We have a great campus with great food, and the weather is usually pretty nice. It's one place in Texas where you get all seasons. There is a big mix of people here and Lubbock is alot bigger than most people think. It has the most restaurants and most churches per capita in the southwest, and Texas Tech is the biggest campus in the nation, believe it or not.

I love Tech's campus it is beautiful I havent seen a college campus yet that could beat it. There are a lot of people who go to Tech but I feel its appropriate amount of people. There is an amazing night life here in Lubbock the clubs and parties rock. The students are very school spirited on game days its crazy fun. Latest controversy would probably be the Vick Em' shirts that came out during 07' football season. Whenever I say I go to Texas Tech people are ether impressed or they make a comment about how they were cheated out of a win in a football game. Living in the dorms are amazing and some of my favorite memories are from there.

Texas Tech is a really large school and is still looking to grow. When I tell people I go to Tech I always get Raider Rash comments, or comments on the architecture progam. When I'm on campus I'm usually in my dorm or in one of the places to eat. The town of Lubbock can be pretty sketch, especially the WalMart at night time, I'd suggest going in groups. The most recent controversy was when that boy made "Vick Em'" shirts, that was a HUGE deal on campus. The football games are AWESOME. We break the benches and that's always cool to see. One experience I'll always remember is when I accidentally purchased a Fraternity Brother at the Miss Greek Competition. Luckily, the money went to charity.

I absolutely love it at Tech. I hated it when I went to orientation. But after I met a bunch of amazing people, I began to see myself here for the rest of my college career. Of course you'll going to meet those people that you just don't get along with. But that shouldn't ever discourage you from giving a great college like Texas Tech a chance. The campus is beautiful and full of student art around the campus. The spring is the best because there are red and yellow tulips all around campus and they are absolutely gorgeous. The best thing about the fall is football season. The school spirit and all the traditions are astonishing. In the summer there are endless pool parties. There is usually never a cloud in the sky. It's beautiful. The best thing about the winter is the beautiful snow. Most of the time if you go to a class while it's snowing outside, you'll get in-class points or extra credit. The city of Lubbock isn't all that great, but the people are very nice. Sometimes at night the whle city smells like cow poo, so don't think it was your friends. If you come from a big city you're probably used to hearing honking while driving. The people in Lubbock hardly know what a car horn is. But nevertheless, you'll always see a smile on their faces.

Tech is an amazing school. I don't think there's a single one of my friends at Tech that, if possible, would go back to senior year in high school and change their choice of university. We have a beautiful campus, and it's continuously being added on to or upgraded. If I could change one thing, it would be the amount of school pride among Tech students. We always have good attendance at sporting events, but I wish it would be GREAT attendance. Speaking of, I love the size of our school. It's big enough to meet someone new everyday, but it's small enough to where your professors know your name (if you take the time to introduce yourself). It's also one of the biggest consecutive campuses, so you're able to walk to all our classes (hence the "consecutive" part) but large enough to get you a little exercise (hence the "big" part). It's also a ton of fun, because Lubbock is definitely a college town. The town is very happy to have Tech a part of it, and the town gets just as involved with football tailgating and school events as the students. Some people (that obviously don't go to Tech) complain that "Tech is in the middle of nowhere." But more than likely, those people go to SMU or TCU and their student population spends every weekend driving to "the middle of nowhere" to hang out with us. Our student body generally spends most weekends here, because for such a "small town in the middle of nowhere" we have a LOT going on.

One of the best things about tech is that its just such a beautiful campus. The buildings are really pretty and its a great place to take pictures if you ever needed any with a old fashion style. The only thing id change is that since it is such a big campus we really need more buses to help get people to class faster. Other than that it is a nice size. Usually people are pretty interested when i tell them i go to texas tech, especially older people because when they were in college tech was known as a huge party school so they want to know what parties are like now and how the teachers are. well truth is, tech likes to party. there is rarely a weekend that there isnt a party going on but for most people its not a problem with school work and staying focuses. most people learn fast they dont want to be in college for 7 years so they dont get too out of control. it is a college town i mean there isnt much else in lubbock but tech, thats what attracts people. you cant beat everyone in town going to a football game on saturday or it being the highlight of every news channel. sometimes you forget its an actual town and there are high schools and elementaries! Techs administration is pretty good though ive never had a problem with getting in contact with someone if i ever had a question about classes or grades. they are really helpful and really do want to know your opinion about the professors they hire. there is definitely a lot of school pride, you dont want to drive through lubbock with a longhorn sign or aggie tshirt on because you will get thrown out of lubbock! even the tech alumni that still live here whether they are 30 or 80 will get onto people wearing anything other than tech. its pretty awesome! so far my experiences at tech have been great. its a lot of fun and people live for football and basketball season around here! there are a lot of good organizations and programs here to fit just about everyones interests, rarely have i ever hearrd anyone complain about anything to do with tech, except the police that think they are the toughest people around, but other than that its a great college!

Texas Tech is definitely a college town. The only thing I would change is making Lubbock closer to home. Other than that I wouldn't ever wish I had chosen any other school.

Tech is place where people are proud of their school. Everyone at Tech cheers for the school, and feels the pain when something not so amazing happens at our school. The big thing about Tech is that students actually connect with each other, professors, and other staff member at the university.

Everything... the school spirit on Saturdays that really start on Thursdays... the atmosphere of walking through one of the biggest campuses in the Nation is pretty incredible.... Beating A&M every year....The Horse running down the side-line of the football field.... The Guns going off....The people

People react indifferent when I tell them I go to Tech. Unfortunately, they dont seem too impressed. I think it is just a growing school and doesnt have the reputation it deserves yet.
