Texas Tech is a great school. I hope to see Tech develop in its areas of weakness like study space, computer access, English speaking profs., and management in general. Poor management is responsible for half of the issues. Though none of them occur in dealings directly with students, the campus and logistics thereof tend to be confusing, one of my classes had to look around a building for an empty room on a couple times. I believe that a university that promotes good, clean, quite, and comfortable study space as a main priority will produce students who will study more, and thus a higher graduation rate than 40%(Texas Tech's official according to FAFSA) The profs I had that could speak clear English were great. They are professional and accessible. The courses are designed and structured very well and provide valuable learning opportunities. It is a very large campus, a bike really helps. A new student will find a very large number of "Greek" organizations and in my experience, I do not belong to any, they are mostly down to earth, friendly people that don't shove their head up their butt as much as stereotypes would suggest. Financial aid does a lot to help. They are well organized and fairly competent. Lubbock is a fat turd. I came here from the mountains of Virginia and can say that it is the ugliest place I have ever been, and I was in Iraq in 2005. It has more fast food restaurants per capita (ratio based on population) than any other city IN THE U.S.! That fact is quite evident by looking at the average Lubbock citizen. It's a good school if you feel your options are limited, but I wholeheartedly advise pursuing other options. Go to Virginia, JMU, VCU, VTech...All great schools in amazing cities.
