3 BIG misconceptions. 1) Most people think that we are a small school. 2) All we do is party. 3) Texas Tech is very easy to get accepted to.

Drunks, STD filled, People that couldn't get into A&M or Texas, bad fans.

Basically some of the sterotypes I have heard are were classless in sporting games, we drink all the time, we all have raider rash, anybody can get accepted into Tech, all we do is party.

Everyone's Greek. Everyones a Cowboy. Two Words: Raider Rash.

All the guys are rednecks and all the girls spend daddy's money on clothes and tanning. And all everyone does is drink beer and play football.

We have a reputation for being "country." Not strictly cowboy hat wearing, straw-chewing "country", but roughneck, fighting "country." We're also known for not having much class (hence, us putting cuss words in our own fight song). We are also known for having bad sportsmanship at sporting events. But then again, we're known for having a wealthy student population (west Texas oil) and good looking girls (something in the Texas water). We are also known to be pretty diverse - hippies, frat boys and girls, artsies, and "GDI's."

that Tech is an easy school to get into and that the students here are dumb and theres a problem with STDs

I have heard the stereotype that Texas Tech students have bad sportsmanship when it comes to football games. People also like to talk about how terrible Lubbock is because it's dusty and in the middle of nowhere.

Soem people think that Texa Tech students are a bunch of cowboys and party animals.

That we are UT's and A&M rejects

That we do not have smart people and that its not challenging. Also, that there are alot of STDs and we have a very roudy audience during sporting events.

Its only a party school. Everyone just cares about drinking. There is nothing to do in Lubbock. Everyone has STD's

The everyone up here has STD of some sort. We are the worst students when it comes to sportsmanship.

Rough, Rowdy, Rude, Obnoxious, Loud, Mean, Unintelligent, belligerent, unfocused.

We are rednecks.

The school is not qualified to provide a quality education as UT or other notable schools. It is thought of as a party school.

We are a fraternity and sorority associated university. We teand to be very proud of our school as we have a lot of school spirit and support

That we have STD's...which is not true...in fact we are the 2nd lowest in the Big 12. We are drunk...all the time! Not true...most of my friends don't drink very often...plus, what college DOESN'T have people who get drunk? We didn't get into A&M or UT. LIES LIES LIES! Yeah, we have the few who say that...but many of the people in my classes were valedictorian of their high school, as well as me.

I hear frequently that the reason many of the students that go to Texas Tech do so because they were not accepted to the University of Texas or Texas A&M.
