Texas Tech University is a pretty sweet place to go to school. The campus is huge beyond belief but it's pretty easy to navigate once you get used to it. And it uses a bus system to take you around campus, which is way better than walking 15 minutes across campus. It is self enclosed which, aside from the Medical and Law, is pretty awesome. It's not like other Universities that I've see which have city roads running through them, making you have to cross busy streets just to get to class. Once you're on campus, you're in a secluded city of its own. The campus is beautiful as well. It has an old Spanish look on most of the buildings, pretty nice architecture. Landscaping is great too. Endless sidewalks (red colored brick and regular cement), trees, grass, and parks to name a few. The students here are amazing too, always friendly and inviting. Seriously. You would have to try really really hard to not make friends here every 5 minutes. And when football season comes around…MAN! These kids know how to show team spirit. Tech football games are the best social/school events that go on here, you are guaranteed to have an amazing time. In the city, night clubs, bars, and parties are the usual social events. So many things to do, you'll never get bored. The school programs are quite impressive as well. I'm in Rawls College of BA but I'm most impressed with the College of Architecture. Architecture program here is amazing and has amazing professors. I don't know a lot about the other colleges and profs but I'm sure they measure up as well. Regular classes here are fun but challenging as well. TV has lied to me because college, especially here, isn't all fun and games. It gets very challenging at times but there is always help available from free tutoring provided by the University, Study Sessions, and your choice from the endless clubs and organizations here at Tech. I strongly recommend Texas Tech University as the University of choice for incoming freshmen and transfer students. Even if you are thinking about going with community college for the first year to save some money, come here and enroll in South Plains which offers the Gateway Program with TTU. My freshman year roommate lived on campus with me at the dorms but had most of his classes at the South Plains center. Saved him money and he got to experience the crazy fun of living in the dorms at Tech. So if money is the issue, don't sweat it. Tech offers a lot of financial aid and believe me, the money for college is out there. Just take the time to look around and fill out some scholarship applications from the endless lists. To get the full experience of this place you have to check it out for yourself.
