Yes, it is in the Bible Belt, but what passes for moderate in the rest of the country is considered radically liberal at Tech. Most of the students here come from surrounding small towns, and refuse to think for themselves. Ruston is redneck paradise. Most people go home for the weekend, and I definitely always do. I'm from Shreveport and Tech makes Shreveport look like San Francisco. My department is great and deserves better recognition. The professors are from all over and many hold degrees from top universities. If you can suffer through all the ultra-right religious nuts "witnessing" non stop, not to mention all the homophobic and racist talk all over campus. The architecture program is also phenomenal, I am always completely in awe of the stuff they do. You can find your own niche of friends, it takes time but you will, and just work all the week then party at home on the weekend. But I would have to admit, the ideal person best suited to here is a far-right wing, fundamentalist Obama-hater who's majoring in engineering.

First off I came to tech for all the WRONG reasons, so my view of this school is jaded to say the least. Make sure you know exactly what your desired field is BEFORE you get here, if you are not planning on majoring in engineering or related field, reconsider your decision regarding attending this university While the professors are friendly enough and usually are helpful enough, they are not what I would consider "top notch", in fact I feel that a lot of these professors could not make it in a larger more reputable university. I often get the feeling that Tech really does not care too much about anyone other than its engineering majors, it seems that all of the renovations/innovations are all geared toward the engineering departments while other departments are in terrible need of improvement. For example, most of my classes are on the South Campus (Reese, Lomax Halls) and I know of one professor that has a trashcan in his office just to collect water that leaks in through the ceiling when it rains, also, in the one of the lab buildings on South Campus the roof in one room is basically on the verge of caving in. If I knew coming into this university what I know now I would definately have gone to another more reputable university. I feel poorly prepared to go out into the working world, while some of that can be accredited to me, I also feel that my professors have done a poor job at challenging me and providing me with useful information. Most of the information that I have recieved in my current field of study here at Tech has been outdated and some of the professors here still use overhead projectors, eventhough there are projectors with computers in all the classrooms here, to me that right there shows you something about the academic integrity of the professors and the university. While no decision about attending a university should be based on the surrounding town, it is a factor that cant be ignored. While Ruston is a great town with great people, there is not much to do, just last year we got our FIRST movie theatre, there is very little night life here also.
