Texas Tech University Top Questions

The worst thing about my school would be the dorm life. My dorm isn't the nicest place to live but the staff does their best to accommodate everyone's needs.

I really dont have a bad thing to say about texas tech but if i did it would be the food

They claim to give all these scholarships out equally to those that need them. They give out few and to the same people who dont really need them.

There are approximately 42,000 students at my school, which means the campus and class sizes are quite large. This makes navigating between classes difficult, as well as dealing with large lecture classes. However, such a large and diverse population also brings about many opportunities to network - a favorable advantage not offered at smaller institutions.

The campus is very seperated. It takes a long time to get from class to class. The weather is horrible so having to walk really far during a snow storm can cause students to not attend class that day.

Class size. Some classes were way too large to learn effectively. Large lecture halls do not encourage asking questions or expressing opinions.

The worst thing about my university would have to be their focus on growth. Texas Tech is a major institution and recently passed its previous record for students in attendance. Yet, instead of directly focusing on the student body, the administration is vigorously working to raise its status and join the prestigious tier one grouping. While this is an excellent goal for the school, one should not try and obtain such recognition for the sake of prestige. I feel that the greatest fault of the administration is that students have become a close second.

The worst thing about this school would be that it's rather difficult to be involved in anything unless you're in a sorority or fraternity, or if you don't have a large amount of free time. There is not a wide range of clubs or activities, and for those that are more diverse, it is difficult to get involved in them, due to lack of information on the school or organization's website. I would advise new students to try to get involved in activities as soon as possible, because it's harder the longer you wait.

I really love Texas Tech but sometimes I wish it was smaller and a little more personable. Also, in some classes you will have a foreign professer. This can make things really difficult if you can not understand them clearly.

I love everything about Texas Tech University! The only thing i wish they would work on are the dorms. They are nice but could use some updates to make living there a little bit eaiser.
