Texas Tech University Top Questions

What's the one thing you wish someone had told you about freshman year?

Sarah

I wish I would have known more about financial aid, I feel like that people here dont really let you know much or when you do want to find information out, they act as if you are a burden to them.

Asti

I wish I had known about what Texas Tech had to offer about two years earlier.

Katelynn

I wish I had known how stressful it would be to really be on my own and responsible I was for everything. I no longer had my parents everyday to help me stay on track and it took a little time to get fully adjusted.

Lindsey

Before coming to college, I wish that I had known how serious picking a major would be. The classes that I took and weren?t relevant to my future ended up being less stimulating. The moment I discovered my major and I started to take those classes, I became more motivated to do well in school. I definitely wish I would have found my passion earlier in life so that I could have gained even more from my college experience than I already have.

Angelica

That I could not take all the courses every semester in my major.

Dawn

I wish I had known how much I would have benefitted from going to school away from home. I might have learned more about being on my own and would have maybe have had more opportunity for extra curricular activities instead of working full time while I finished school.

Gabriela

I wish I knew that AP classes were an extremely factor in college, not only do they prepare you for the amount of work that you will receive, but they also can put you ahead of other students and you save money. I wish I knew how to prepare myself for having better time management that way I wouldn?t be so overwhelmed with all the work there is to do in so little time. I wish I had someone to talk to that had experienced college, like how it would feel, what to expect on the first week etc.

Sierra

Just college information in general and maybe where everything else is located

Sammie

Elina
