Texas Tech University Top Questions

Final advice- Don't judge Tech on Lubbock. Lubbock it's not as easy on the eyes as say somewhere along the coast, but the campus is what makes Lubbock. Tech was not my first choice but once I came here and saw the campus, met the people and got involved I absolutely loved it!! I was the best choice I could have made. If you come for a visit definitely check out Spanky's, they have the best fried cheese sticks in the world. Chimy's is a bar on Broadway and it is known for some of the strongest margaritas and the best place to go when you’re done with class on a Friday afternoon. Cactus Courtyard, Blue light, JFK's, Bar PM, Crickets and Rocky La Rue's are the most popular bars. You're guaranteed a good time, live music, and lots of drinks and dancing. T.C. Ellis, Chrome, and All About Moi can satisfy any shopping urges you might have.

I feel that the Texas Tech campus is extremely secure. I felt safe living on campus...even knowing that other colleges were being shot at. I believe that Tech is a great college and I am proud to be a Red Raider.

You either love Tech immediately or you hate it and have to get out immediately. There's really no inbetween. Most people love it, though.

I am enjoying my college experience so much,I have made alot of new friends & am incvolved so much at TTU.THe communtiy is like an extension of the University & they are always ready & willing to help. They First Year College Program was so helpful & really helped me with study habits & such. My fraternity was there to help & really made feel like I belong.

Don't come here if you are looking for something exciting. There is nothing exciting about this place. The most fun I had is when I did a congressional internship through TTU. I worked in Washington DC in the House of Reps. for a congressman. TTU has a great setup for students in that program. Come here if you like to: wear ugg boots and shorts, say "bro", "dude," "boss," and other typical frat words, if you like to fake tan, bleach your hair, at like an idiot, be a slut, get arrested for drunk driving (this is a try town you will be making trips out into the country for beer and it sucks), be made fun of by people that go to other bigger universities that actually win sporting events, live in the middle of a dirt field, like the smell of cows and like the smell of oil, want to meet some of the biggest creepers you have ever seen, and if you want to go greek.

I have nothing else to say. This school is amazing, but isnt for everyone. Its all about people.

come to tech you won't regret it.... unless you are a square who doesn't know how to have fun and need "traditions" to help you do so.

Conclusion: Texas Tech will pretty much rock your world! Come experience the boondocks of NW Texas where you might possibly see your first tumble weed...LOL! Tech is also perfectly located if you like to ski or snow board since we are only an hour away from Ruidoso!

the people in power seem to spend money on things that don't really matter

If you ever decide to go to Tech be aware all aggies and sooners alike will instantly not like you forever, no lie. Football is king at Texas Tech we take it seriously and we have an awesome program.
