Statistical Analyzer:

First of all…there are a lot of stereotypical ideas regarding Tech.

The students aren't as bright as the other big schools, Lubbock is in the middle of nowhere, people that go here are the ones who didn't get accepted to UT and A&M.

Personally, I got accepted by the CAP program at UT but decided to defer and go elsewhere. Tech might not have the same high admissions standards as other schools, but it gives the underdogs a chance. It is true that there is a large population of jocks and people who are clueless, but there are also a lot of people who do truly care about their academics and try extremely hard (even if they are not that academically gifted).

Professors are pretty good in the Econ dept. and overall..although you will get your fair share that don't speak English very well. As far as personal attention, you have to seek them out. Most are available to consult with you during their office hours. Establishing a personal relationship with your prof or TA I would say is very crucial to your success. To repeat a cliche, you will get out what you put in.

As far as Lubbock goes, I was born in the DFW area so I had my doubts about moving to a smaller city. While it is peaceful, it can be pretty boring sometimes. Thanks to Tech, the city is developing however, and it is starting to look like a big suburb more than a run-down old Texas town.

My advice would be to at least apply to UT and go there if you are accepted. However, Texas Tech really isn't too bad. Its what you make of it.
