The majority of the students at Texas Tech are very friendly and nice, however there are a large number of students from a particular organization (I'll let you guess, but it's pretty obvious) who are very stuck-up.

Aside from that, the campus is beautiful and the coursework is not so challenging (at least in the Mass Comm college) that you don't have a life. While there are not many things to DO in Lubbock, it's pretty easy to get friends together and do SOMETHING.

The people I met at Tech were well worth the time I spent there,but academically speaking,I feel that I've been short changed.I definitely wasn't challenged enough and doing some of the work just seemed to be a waste of time. My high school was a lot difficult than the work I did at Tech. But I will say that the people and the school spirit is absolutely fantastic.

Tech has some great programs, including Agriculture, Engineering, Interior Design, and Architecture. I would be extremely cautious about majoring in anything else, especially business. I had a roommate who was a business major. He was dumb as a brick (SAT around 1000) and graduated with minimal effort.

The campus seems to be experiencing a renaissance of sorts. Construction has gone haywire. Since my freshman year, I've seen the construction of an addition to the football stadium, an experimental sciences building, dorms, the student wellness center, an animal sciences building, an addition to the law school, an addition to the student union building, the center for the study of addiction and recovery, an addition to the engineering administrative offices, and the leisure pool. Facilities, as a whole, are as modern and aesthetically pleasing as you will probably find anywhere.

The city of Lubbock is not really such a bad place. As the birthplace of Buddy Holly and several other successful musicians, Lubbock is heralded by some as one of the music meccas of the world. Many artists who make it big in Austin, dubbed "The Live Music Capital of the World", describe the route of their success as "Austin via Lubbock".

Moreover, Lubbock is actually very well planned. The street system consists of a nearly perfect grid encompa
