Where do I start? If your not in a frat or sorority, good luck making friends. If your not white, good luck making friends. Diversity here isn't exactly the greatest. I've only been here at tech for about a month and I already hate it. I originally picked Tech out of the 8 schools I had admissions into, including better schools like USD(University of San Diego) and USC(University of Southern California). I picked Tech because it was cheaper and I would get the change to get away from my parents.

I came here from San Diego, Ca because I thought I was sick of California, thinking that I would get to experience that "southern hospitality" and get meet new people, boy was I wrong. Everyone is exactly what other reviews have stated, closed minded, arrogant and snooty. If you try asking someone a friendly question like "what did the professor say?" most likely you'll just get a dirty look. The professors here suck. Most can't speak English to save their life. The others who can, just suck. I have 6 classes and only one class (history) is moderately okay. Every other class is taught by an arrogant jerk. Most of the things that I've learned here, I've taught myself. It's almost as if the teachers here want you to fail or something. Why the heck are you going to grade me on something you didn't teach adequately? My computer science class is pretty much all failing because of one professor daydreaming for the entire class. Tech loves it's money. They will charge you for EVERYTHING. The food here sucks and is overpriced. Don't get me started on Lubbock. Lubbock is boring and ghetto. If your like me and don't drink, good luck. There is literally nothing to do here. The weather is random and sucks. It's kind of like a confused child, it never knows when to be hot or cold. Being from California, I know what a pretty girl looks like, and Lubbock doesn't have a single one. It's as if Tech collects all the rednecks and ugly girls or something. If you bring your car drive slow, the rednecks here drive like jackasses. Overall DO NOT I repeat DO NOT make the same mistake I did and come to Texas Tech, unless you want to be around ugly girls, rednecks, professors who can't teach and don't give a damn about you, and of course live in the sh*t hole known as Lubbock.

PS Californian's stay in Cali for the amazing weather and beautiful people. Unless of course you want to get with honey boo boo than sure come here.

Hi! I'm Raven, I like tech, I'm not snooty or arrogant. I'm an anthropology major. Maybe we should get together and hang out if you really have a hard time at tech. I can help you. Not everyone here is so bad just a few of the rednecks. I work DMS night shift if you ever want to meet and just talk.

Hey I'm Kiana. I understand what you mean about the social aspect about Tech. Initially i was going out and partying alot, however during the second semester I realized that I didn't want to party anymore and just focus on my classes (i'm a pre-medical designation/ psychology major) and I seemed to have lost all of the friends that I had when i was partying. I hope this next semester will be better for you.

Thank you so much! I too am from cali and want to get away from my parents and California, you know just to see whats out there I guess. Tech was one of my top schools but after what you just said im really going to think twice about it.
