Though I entered the civil engineering masters program without a bachelors degree, I made great friends in my undergraduate courses and learned to apply myself in engineering. Tech most certainly has top-notch students as I had it was an immense challenge to hold my own with them.

My professors were exceptionally renowned in their fields. They fully expect a graduate student to make every effort to understand an engineering concept or problem, but will also help direct you out of a log jam.

After graduating nearly eleven years ago, Tech still leaves a permanent mark on my presentation as a professional. I would highly recommend that a graduate student work on a research project and write a thesis. The presentation and written communication skills are invaluable and will place you professionally in a position that is above par.

As far as Tech and Lubbock are rated, I never had a problem making good friends. There are plenty of activities to get involved with and places to go and hang out.

Bad:

- You don't learn in class
- Students don't care about school
- Majority of people is closed minded and arrogant
- Racial segregation (the spot where black people eat was called the 'black hole')

DON'T MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE I DID. DON'T GO HERE!!

Now I'm at UT and my life is 100% better.

EVERYTHING costs money! All food on campus is over priced fast food. Jack-in-the box across the street is cheaper and tastes better. The tutoring center sucks. The tutors are all students in class with you! I've been given wrong answers multiple times. Too many TA's teaching classes, classes that I'm being charged full price for. Professors are average at best. Everyone in the math dept. is Indian and barely speaks english. If you're going to school in TX, go to A&M. You've been warned!!

The school is surrounded by a ghetto neighborhood with half way houses. If you go across the street of Tech, panhandlers will ask you for money. When you go to gas stations to fill up your car, the panhandlers will all surround you and ask for money. A panhandler once got into the back seat of my daughter's car, and she had to tell him to get out. When my daughter parked her car across the street, her window was smashed. It cost nearly $200 to fix. When ever you go to local stores they are filled with gang members. If you want to go to a decent store, they are far away from the campus. The math teachers barely speak english. My daughter got a 60 on her math test, and that was one of the highest grades in the class if that tells you anything. No one in the class understands what is going on. The Math dept. never lists what teachers are going to be teaching the class when signing up for classes. Tutoring is a joke at the school. There are hundreds of students that show up for tutoring. You get in line and ask a question, so you get to ask maybe 2 questions during the tutoring. We have had to pay for our own tutoring for our daughter which costs us $10 per hour. The city has a law to where you can't rent a house with your friends to share expenses. So you are stuck with having to pay high apartment fees. All I can say is good luck if you plan on going to Texas Tech, and you may want to take self defense classes.
