Texas Tech University

Love this school! Here in a PhD program. Lots of school spirit and pride. Your money gets you more student support than most really expensive private institutions. I’m a Red Raider and proud of it!

I love my Alma Mater. Tech does a great job in many aspects: food offerings, campus beautification, courses, and faculty and staff. I have had the pleasure of seeing how the campus has changed and evolved since I first attended in 2011. They have started operating a Food Truck (all the rage now) and they are always trying to beautify the campus. Staff have always been friendly and they have some of the best faculty around.

I didn’t love college, but that is just because I am more of a hands on learner, not a class goer. Texas Tech has a beautiful campus and probably has spent millions upon millions keeping it that way. The campus is huge and has a lot of really pretty areas. My favorite spot on campus is on the second floor of the sub. There are these so called «study» rooms. They each have 2 – 4 seats in them and you can go in, close the door, and study with friends. The doors are made of glass which makes me happy that weird things aren’t going on in there. I would personally go in, turn the lights off, and take a nap after lunch before my next class. This is one of the reasons I didn’t have a 4.0 probably hahah.
Tech is a great place to make friends, learn and grow as a person.

Offers a great college education with low tuition; Low Cost of LIving in Lubbock
TTU has a Medical School and Law School; both have low tuition costs
TTU has a leisure pool for students and amazing gym
TTU has the most hospitable people of any University; they invited us to scholarship dinners, chili cook offs and were genuine people all around
TTU cares about their students tremendously; the dean personally called me to see if I had any questions about my husband’s acceptance or the life of a Law School Student
TTU also has a beautiful campus, new dorms and offers a variety of options for education.
TTU has so many programs for Veterans and Scholarships! TTU goes above and beyond for Veterans.
TTU has a VA clinic close by as well for any needed medical care for Veterans.
GUNS UP!

I loved my years at Texas Tech! Best decision I made was go to Texas Tech for my undergrad degree. The campus is beautiful! The staff friendly and helpful. Football season is great! Carol of lights is a beautiful tradition. I spent hours at the leisure pool and rec! I made friends for life at Tech
Go Red Raiders!

I enjoyed much of my time in college, however I have to give Texas Tech only one star.
This school left me with an anxiety condition and the lowest feeling of self worth I have ever experienced in my life. Like many universities, Texas Tech offers counseling for their students. And they should. As a music student I spend most of my class days being bullied to tears by the upper classmen. Even when I went to talk about my problems I was told I was «to fragile». I was put down by professors and peers alike. I was sexual harassed on many occasions during the school day.
The education I received was fine. The abuse that continued though out my time at Texas Tech was horrendous. I do not think this review applies to the entire school. Many of my friend at Tech blossomed. The music department prides itself on it’s old world tactics of «break you down to build you up.» It’s emotionally abusive and wrong!

So you Unilocaled a University? Hmm. I think you should do better research than Unilocal but it’s a good school. Lubbock is a shit city though.

GO TECH!

I’ll keep it short and sweet since everyone in Texas knows what TTU is about. I am an Alumni who loved my education here. The facilities are top notch with new ones always being built. Great school with very professional staff and professors.

Kleine, schnuckelige staatliche Universität in Texas und zwar da wo man bis zum Horizont keinen Hügel sehen kann. Die einzelnen Fakultäten liegen auf einem riesigen Campus verstreut im Zentrum von Lubbock wo noch nicht alle Straßen rechtwinklig angelegt sind.
Hab da mal ein Semester Werbung studiert. Prima persönlicher Kontakt mit den Professoren. Hier wird individuell auf einen eingegangen und der Unterricht ist sehr praxisbezogen.
Keine Eliteuniversität aber dennoch empfehlenswert.

First a side note: Wendy, for what it’s worth, Unilocal’s a place where you can review any local business. Since Tech is a for-​profit institution of higher learning, it’s totally in bounds to share your take your experience here.
It’s been awhile since I earned my degree from my alma mater, but I’m glad I did. Going to Tech meant the world in my development as a human being, and my best friends in the world to this day I made there, in addition to an education that helped encourage me to make my way in the real world (thankfully, not the show the Real World).
And while I could carp on the wind and the fact that it literally took six hours to drive anywhere out of town that wasn’t Amarillo or Friday Night Lights territory (if you were wondering, you do get used to those kind of road trips), overall, I wouldn’t have traded a day of my time in West Texas at Tech. I graduated with a degree in Public Relations, and will use a little of that degree (tongue planted in cheek) to share these facts that remain in my long-​term memory:
— Texas Tech is the second largest campus in the US behind that of the Air Force Academy. I can only assume that the larger one has landing strips on it.
— Tech’s the only institution in the US to house a contiguous undergrad, law and medical school at the same location (no doubt because of all that space not used for landing strips).
— The thing that you hear about how flat the city is really is true, and this is true of campus too. I once heard a man joke that he watched his dog run away… for three days.
— I did crib from the Wikipedia entry that Michener was a fan of the Spanish style architecture on campus. Will Rogers’ horse statue (Soapsuds) rear end points toward a rival institution if you follow it for a few hundred miles.
The communications, design and engineering departments (not to mention some of the more storied ones, like viticulture — West Texas bears an amenable grape growing environment –) have turned out a number of accomplished grads.
It’s true what others have said about the size of the campus and getting around, and there’s no denying the wind (a trade off for humidity in my case… when I stepped foot on campus for the first time, I was hit with an honest-​to-​goodness tumbleweed)…but for my experience, Tech meant more often than not the best of times. Some may agree, others may disagree, and that’s fine. I don’t get back as often as I could, but while I was raised in the big city, I grew up at Tech. And that’s worth a guns up or two.

I loved my time there, and all my friends there, but I am definitely happier I’m in Dallas now. I hated walking so far on campus to classes, but it made me thankful for smaller campuses. Most of the faculty keeps their nose up at the sky, but that’s ok, that just means they’ll trip sooner or later. I love the depot district, and my memories there were sweet. I wasn’t too impressed with the EMAC program… they have a ways to go. I felt I did waste some money there to be honest, I feel more classes could have been offered in my program, but I could have researched it more. I will always have a special place in my heart for Lubbock and the Raiders, but wind and dust isn’t for everyone.

As an Alum (class of 88), was surprised to see this on Unilocal as well while browsing through my old Lubbock haunts. I have lived all over and you will not find a better college or college town to go off to College. The campus is beautiful, the living facilities on or off campus are abundant and affordable. The social life is excellent and it is a great party town… Tech is how a student should go off to experience college, in a smaller town where the University is the focal point… the town caters to this University. In addition, if you are a single Lad going off to school… this University has the most attractive Co-​eds. Playboy made their first visit to Lubbock while I was their and it was the last stop on their «girls of the Southwest Conference» tour and they came to Lubbock and made it know that in all their years of doing the «college girl tours» Lubbock by far had the most pretty and abundant Women on any campus they have seen. So there you have it. A very good school (trying to become great). A beautiful, affordable University, the right size town supporting and catering to you… and the best looking Co-​eds around… I sure hope Tech has kept up that tradition since I left. «Ride’em Raider»

I agree with Wendy F., why is TTU on Unilocal!again?
If you want a degree from a public Texas University and 1) don’t like the Austin counter culture, and 2) don’t want to join or be associated with a cult, then Texas Tech is just right. A good mix of people without having to fight a stigma.
If you are a student, then your opinion doesnt matter to the faculty.
If you are faculty, then you walk around like your god.
If you are god, then you’re sporting a double-​T shirt b/​c of all the bible thumping.

I cant believe Wendy rated kenosha village a 5 but texas tech a 4. NO WAY!
This university beats others in many ways. The architecture is amazing and the campus– beautiful
How many other universities has a leisure pool, lazy river, and a hot tub? NONE! thats right Texas Tech has the only one.

This is really strange for me, writing a review on Texas Tech University. Unilocal is more for restaurants and shops, not higher learning institutions. Unilocal is for talking about somewhere you spent and hour or two, not three years of your life.
But I just have to say a few words.
Texas Tech is a good school. Not great, but very good. It is the place where people that grow up in this area dream of going, and most of them do. It excels in the areas you would think a college in West Texas would… like Ag, or football (I guess).
I enrolled because I lived in Lubbock and I wanted a Masters degree. I didn’t think I would be moving anytime soon, and I was tired of waiting to start school.
It really was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I met the most amazing people, studied under the most incredible professors, and obtained another piece of paper to hang on my wall, along with the most valuable information I never knew I needed to learn.
You have to have respect for this school. Yes it’s in Lubbock, which is debatably boring and stale. Nationally I have no idea of where it stands in the rankings. But for people in Lubbock, it’s something to be excited about, and proud of. The people are GOOD PEOPLE. I like it. I really do.
