Texas Tech University Top Questions

The location would probably be the worst thing about my school. It's an extremely small town with absolutely nothing exciting to do.

The worst thing about my school is that Lubbock, Texas is so far from any other major town. This encourages the student body to stay in town durring the weekends, which is good, but makes it difficult to visit home.

The worst hing about school here is the town has very little entertainment.

Dormitories. Small, out dated, bathrooms not well kept. Overpriced. Dorm food isn't diverse, and the healther options are more expensive. Elevators sometimes brake down.

Depending on the major you are in the administrative staff can be very difficult to deal with. It is hard to really have a relationship with them in order to really work on your major. Often you feel as though they really don't care about your success and just want to get the appointment over with. They also won't meet with you whenever you don't have an appointment at the regulated advising time.

Very cold and windy.

It is far from any large urban area, even though there are plentiful flights in and out of Lubbock.

I think the housing application process has a little room for improvement. I had a really hard time getting a place to live my freshman year, the year that it counted the most. It seemed as if all the dorms were occupied with previous residents and there was hardly any room for new residents. I'd open more spaces and/or start the registration process earlier.

The parking isnt so great, just be sure to learn the bus route

The worst thing can sometimes be the students that can get out of control. Questioning enrollment matters, the pranks that can sometimes go too far. Such as messing with the public bathrooms. Discipline is in the middle.
