Texas Tech University Top Questions

I wish I was pushed to be more involved and not so shy. You and other freshman are all in similar boats, so they most likely feel as nervous as you do. Don't be afraid to go out and join as many organizations or go places you wouldn't usually, because you can always figuratively go back, and edit before you click save.

I wish I had known how difficult it can be to keep track of all the responsibilities that come with being a college student. There are a ton of deadlines and a lot of online assignments and it can be really easy to lose track of something. Eventually I learned how to keep track of everything more reliably but I think that my first semester would have been a lot easier had I learned how to do this sooner.

I wish I had known more about the various majors and the opportunities that each provides during your college career. I went into Tech thinking that I knew what I wanted to do, although I very quickly realized that I truly had not idea. Thankfully, Tech provides a plethora of majors and courses to choose from and there is so much you get to experience during college with all of the different paths.

I wish I knew that the ACT and SAT scores do matter, and that the english dual credit is worth taking.

The only thing I wish I would have known before coming to school here is how exciting it would be to meet new people, and the freedom you would be given compared to that in High School. Also, maybe studying the map of Texas Tech University to better know where all the buildings were because it can become a bit confusing since the campus is so big.

I wish I would have known to stay with my gut on what I wanted my major to be. I knew I had always wanted to teach and have people be excited for math like I am. I didn't realize that I wanted to pursue higher education until right before this semester.

The main two things I wish I had known was the availability of Professors at Tech and what dropping classes actually was. It turns out profeesor are very helpful and useful in their office ours I didnt find this out till my second semester when i actually started using them. Then dropping classes, I had dropped one class because at the time it felt completely overwhelming. I didnt want it to hurt my GPA. I later learned that retaking replaces the grade and the class had major bonus points at the end to help the difficulty. Those would be it.

How big some of the lecture halls would be for the basic classes.

I wish I would have known more about the classes and cost.

How important partying is here at this school. i new it was a larg school and that usually mens there is going to be a large anount of parties. Nothing could have prepaired me for here.
