Texas Tech University Top Questions

The most common misconception about Texas Tech University is that we are a party school that doesn’t care about academics, but the truth is Texas Tech has consistently been recognized by its peers, students, and alumni as an amazing and progressive University. Texas Tech’s Rawls College of Business was listed as one of the best business schools in the country by the Princeton Review, Tech’s School of Law was the only law school in Texas to be ranked in the top 20 this year by Prelaw magazine, and the University as a whole earned a top-tier ranking among national Universities in this year’s edition of America’s Best Colleges by U.S. News and World Report. Now, don’t get me wrong, the student body at Texas Tech is every bit as passionate, rowdy, and fun-loving as you would expect, but it all stems from a deep rooted pride in our University and its traditions and it should be considered just one of the many things that makes Texas Tech such a great school.

As far as I know there isn't any stereotypes that I know of that stand out. I never heard anything bad about Tech when I decided to attend but I do have friends that go to other universities and say that Texas Tech students have a bad rep for being mean at football games. Hey, we are just competitive when it comes to our sports. People should know how college sports are against rivals.

It's the place where people go when they don't get in to UT. There is nothing to do here. Being involved in any "greek" group is not that great at TTU. TTU is an easy school.

That Tech is a party school and that everyone who goes to Tech is gorgeous. That alot of the students that come to Tech didnt make it into UT or A&M.

I have heard from parents of highschool students that they think it is a party school. Any college is a party school to be honest. It is up to the individual to choose whether they want to go to class and do their work or go out.
