Major: (This Major's Salary over time)
I attended Texas Tech for 5 and a half years and enjoyed my time here. I met many people the are now lifelong friends. I graduated with a degree in Communications Studies and I am now working in a field completely unrelated to my degree...but this is not because the program is bad or offers no opportunity, but because I made a too hasty decision I deciding to switch my major just so I could graduate sooner. Overall, the faculty was helpful, with a few exceptions. However, in my program there was a lot of social interaction between the professors and some students, which I though slightly inappropriate and also gave an unfair advantage to those students and their friends. There was not a lot of help in the advising department (I did not actually speak to my advisor in Arts and Sciences until a week before I graduated when he had to tell me that I was missing a transfer credit transcript that I needed in order to graduate!!!!!) The students are genial and you can find friends I side or outside of the Greek system and bit intermingle fairly well. The fact that this school is a party school (don't let anyone lie to you...it is) does help to unfocus a great many students. But there are just as many who are there to do well, it just takes a lot of personal motivation and a strong will. Overall I enjoyed my time here, and do not regret my choice but I wish that maybe I would have considered some other schools as well. The campus is beautiful and very well maintained.
