I graduated from Tech in 1975. A couple of years ago I visited the campus on a personal nostalgia tour and the growth of the campus completely boggled my mind. TEXAS TECH has EVERYTHING any student could ever ask for. Lubbock is the perfect "college town". And Lubbock doesn't have terrible traffic conditions like Dallas, Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. If I could go back, I would go to Tech. I can't wait to share this link with a young neighbor who is looking at schools for Fall 2021. It's exciting to see the growth.
GUNS UP!! Texas Tech is underrated because of Lubbocks remoteness geographically. The friendliest folks in Texas and a solid academic school. Very welcoming place for those that are apprehensive about college life away from home for their first time. Lubbock is unique and thats a good thing!!
Totally agree! Best days of my life!👆🏻❤🖤👆🏻
Its underrated because faculty never publishes anything and just hire each other's wives and husbands. At every department half of the faculty is married to the other half. The folks who do the rankings, they are not stupid, you know. They see immediately that Texas Tech is a racket.
So, fun fact, the dude who runs adventure park, his parents ran Roll Arena for years and years. The place is almost a historic landmark for those of us who grew up here! Only open for special occasions now days but Miss Polly shaped a lot of lives there.
i didn't know that! that's so cool!!
Just Jess , this whole area is cool! The small town feel comes from the small town attitude. I was gone for 40 years and this semester, I found out that the lady at Varsity book store is the cousin of a guy who I used to hunt rabbits with in Wolfforth.
thank you so much! i got accepted today and was a little worried about whether i should go or not but you’ve helped me see what’s good for going :)
Heye could you please help me out
This is a great video! I loved my time a Texas Tech, and this is a great explanation as to why!
This video was so helpful, thank you!💞
Welcome to Lubbock, new Raiders! As a recent alum, I hope you all have a great fall semester, even if COVID-19 tries to take away from it. Enjoy it, the four years you get fly by!
Hey, Im applying to Texas Tech and i don’t have much hope of getting in. I have a 3.3 gpa and a 21 act trying to major industrial engineering. Since you got accepted I’m wondering what your high school gpa was. It would really help me out if you answered this.
@@sarahl1453 Hi Sarah! Looks like Tech's auto admission mark is an ACT of 25. While you won't automatically get in, I'd say you still have a shot as long as you put a lot of effort into your application. If you don't want to leave it to chance, you could also always retake the ACT. I didn't score as well as I'd like on it my first time around, but after prepping for it before trying again, I was able to score a 30 and getting in was a breeze. As far as my GPA, I think it was in the 3.9s, but I went to a smaller school where the classes weren't as hard so it was pretty inflated. And if you're unable to get in, don't sweat it, there are plenty of good community colleges around where you can knock out your basic courses before transferring to Tech. Typically the con to this route would be that you lose the "freshman experience", but since Covid has shut everything down and most classes are online anyway, you're in a unique situation where going through a CC probably won't be very different apart from sports, cost of tuition, and location. Good luck to you, I hope this helps!
@@chrisherrera5769 Nice! GL with admissions, hope you enjoy your time at Tech and reach your goal!
@@RRaider19 how many video calls do i have to do with online classes ?
I love your personality! So relatable! ❤️🥰
this means so much, thank u!!
Omg she literally explain Lubbock in a whole 😂(live there)
I think I’m going to accept my offer to Texas tech this upcoming fall and this was a great representation of what to expect thanks!
I graduated in 1990 and although aesthetically, the campus has changed so much but the "feel" of Tech is still the same and I LOVE that about my school. As far as being a party school, meh. I visited both A&M and Texas a few times while I was at Tech, and they weren't lacking any partying. If you want to party, I think you can find that at any school. We only had 19,000 students there in my time there and it didn't seem big at all.
The city of Lubbock is very much behind Tech and I loved that a large portion of the student body is from Dallas/Ft Worth or Houston so not many go home for the weekends and it bonds us closer. I love the low humidity compared to N. Texas and other parts of Texas. The people of Lubbock, in general are the nicest Texans in all of Texas. I have lived in all regions but El Paso and Lubbockites are THE best!
Wreck 'em and get your guns up 👆🏻🖤❤👆🏻 for coach Adams and the boys!
Thank you, Jess, this will help!
:)
cool video and good luck on your journey! I'm going to miss Lubbock, I just graduated this semester.
Also just two random things to check out:
1) the old Reece air force base... its kind of cool walking around and there are some parks and pavilions. I'm pretty sure Tech has some advanced science labs out there too
2) Aloha Grill (if it ever opens back up from covid!!! seriously the best food if your craving some steamed pork buns / pot stickers / bacon fried rice)
first off, congratulations on graduating!!! and secondly, i’ll have to check out those spots when i get back to lubbock
It was a awesome video...you covered everything 😁
I am looking to transfer to TTU in the spring semester. This video was very helpful. Thank you.
where are you going in the fall
So proud of you for 13k views on this video!!!! 🔥🎉🎊🎈
thank you!
After hearing about the recent bella janke, i hope you guys are safe seriously! I wish your school would do more about her.
Meanwhile, the FBI is looking into if the chair of the math department in 2014 was murdered or not. FYI !!!
Yay!! First comment 😁 great video as always
thank you:)
I personally found a careless attitude amongst the mechanical engineering faculty and TAs. I am from a small farming community 90 miles NE of Lubbock, but now reside in Houston. I can see the rudness and poor manners of the typical Houstonian encroaching on the once beloved friendliness that was once Lubbock. Lubbock, Amarillo, Waco, and Abilene remain the better cities that Texas has to offer. Best of wishes to all, and please aspire to higher morals versus the trends of today's society.
i love this !
thank you! im so glad u enjoyed it!
Thinking of playing basketball there. Not sure though, weighing options. Thanks for video!! Very helpful
You should! Especially if it's for baseball!
After seeing how well we did with coach Adams and the team did you decide to play at Tech?
Please let us know if you get a job right after graduation that would be great I am a technology student too.
I lived in Lubbock for my whole life, was in a private school, I haven’t started College yet but I plan on going to tech for Art. if you want something fun to do in Lubbock If you Like thrifting, go to Plato’s Closet, they sell really nice cloths for cheep and you can also sell. IF that’s not for you, i suggest going to main event for bowling and just to have a good time. There are several places in Lubbock I haven’t been to in my life but its the best home I’ve ever had. Could we see videos about the dorms because I would like to know the size whenever i go there> that’s for this video, I’m super excited for College because at my current schoool I don’t have many friends so getting a fresh start will be nice!
I am going to Texas Tech in the fall of 2021 and luckily I will already have 2 years done. I am graduating high school with a class of 45 students. I’m a bit nervous about the class size since I’m used to 40 students.
don’t worry about it!! you’ll be perfectly fine, i came from a small school too and was a little nervous about the lecture classes too.
I’m going fall 2021 too! I’m graduating with a class of 18 so i’m very nervous going in. Maybe we can be friends!
Elise P. Yess that would be amazing ❤️❤️
I’m also attending in the fall! And I’m graduating with 51 students.. we’ll be in this together 😂
I’m attending this fall as well, I’m graduating with 200 students lmao, and I’m still nervous lol.
You have an extremely lovable personality. Love u. make more vids.
If anyone could answer this, the texas campus near me is only about 25 minutes away, would it be have to live at a dorm on campus or would i be able to go home every day afterwards?
Unfortunately there isn't many universities in Texas that offer the major I'm interested in (landscape architecture) the only ones are TTU and TAMU. Do you know if the Landscape architecture program is good at Texas Tech?
It’s fantastic!! I have many friends that are that major and they LOVE it. It’s definitely where you want to be for that major
Hi! I’m going to Tech this Fall, and I was wondering if you could do a dorm haul or dorm tips? It’d be really helpful.
sure i would love to!!
I hope you love lubbock and Texas Tech University.

@@christopher7952 Thank you! I'm loving it so far.
@@sarahl1453 Hi! Tech isn't that selective, I know people here who had a HS GPA of 2.6 and they got in- your 3.3 should be fine! It's actually the average GPA of the student body. Hope I could help!
I’m from a *really* small town (my senior class is 80 people) and I’m kinda scared to go to a bigger city; Lubbock sounds like a good fit from your review, but it’s like 14 hours away from my home 😭😭😭 I’m just really conflicted
I go to a private school, and knowing how many people are in my class I’ll probably graduate with maybe 24 people. I mean one class graduated with only 4 so yeah…
@@batgaming_2108 idk if you’re thinking about it or are already here, but I ended up going to tech and I’m really happy with my choice!! Very friendly environment and the prof. really care about your education. Even though I went to a smaller school, I don’t really feel that lost-in-the-crowd emotion
I got accepted to tech for fall 2022 (: can’t wait! wreck em 🖤❤️🖤❤️
can you room by yourself as a freshman?
Also how is tution and let’s just say the start of senior if like a 3.0 but u finish with like a 3.4 does that matter or not Thxs enjoyed the vid🔥🔥🔥
you can check out the tuition on their website because it differs/varies!
It may sound weird why I'm searching this now before I try to get in. I'm 12
I’m coming for graduate studies in the spring

i had a 3.5 on a college 4 point! but i would say that doing any of the “extras” or like an essay to accompany your scores/transcript will help you get in!!
They accept anyone with a heartbeat. You’ll be fine.
Incoming freshman class GPA is 2.5. It doesn't get any lower in the country. They just want your financial aid money, they know you will drop out after the first year anyway.
Time is flying so fast for me and apparently my senior year is already going to start . I was wondering if Texas Tech had a good medical program. I’m looking to be a crna and when I look at Texas Tech I don’t find much when it comes to this.
yes! they have a great medical program!!
@@justjess8370 ahh thats good to hear! How about forensics??
@@avahcathey5784 In the 1990-s it was the lowest ranked med school in the country, tied with Luisiana State's if I remember right. I don't know what changed but generally don't go to a Texas Tech doctor.
The dust storms are really bad here the air will be really orange and you won’t be able to see anything, and the fall can get really cold. Once u get used to Lubbock is really lame ash the only really really popular places that me and my hgs go to is altitude,the skating ranch and the mall. But they all ways fight at those places . If u have any questions just ask me 👍🏾
I’m planning to transfer to tech in 2 years and I live in Dallas, I’m guessing life is gonna be completely different living in Lubbock since there’s not a lot to do there lol
@@6below775 yep pretty much and rn it is snowing here
So you trying to say that the school is kind of lame? I’m trying to apply there but ion wanna go to a boring school.
@@fnta7775 idk if it’s lame or not I’m only 13 but I was born and raised in Lubbock and my school took a lot my field trips there and I even stay a week in a dorm for camp and it’s not boring or lame there .
@@lifewithalex2029 ahh okk thnx
Did you take psychology? How was the professors? And also how is the vibe on campus?
i took psychology online, but some of my friends took it in person and said it was fun!
Girl I made a 16 too😭 glad I’m not the only one but WRECK EM🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰
PERIOD
Im a new subscriber. My class of 600 was little big. Went to texas tech a while back. Love LUBBOCK AND TEXAS TECH😀. I visit about once about a month. Mall is unique. Hoping to move to lbb!😊 Funny thing i almost went to texas university(i am so glad i didnt😣😣😐😲😲😲! My friend's mom said tech is better for me. Best decision i EVER MADE! 😁😁😁😁 Living in "Big D" let me not feel so overwhelmed when attending The Texas Tech Univetsity!! Sorry,just proud of the univetsity,lubbock,and great people there😊. Great video you have done. Loved every cool moments. Edit errors?heck no,your vid was 1st class.

This is my safety school but it seems pretty sick. Very grateful I have this option if I can’t get into higher level schools
R E There are other schools like UIUC (#5 in nation for CS) and UC Berkeley (#21 in nation for CS) that I’m applying to, in comparison to Texas Tech’s rank 155 in CS and 71% acceptance rate. Big difference. TTU is a safety school for most.
@@medogerty6013 These rankings don’t matter when it comes to getting a job. My brother went to tech and makes 150k right now. It’s all about connections. Nobody cares ab which school you went to unless it’s IVY
@@Charlemagnetheman Yeah you get mad connections from going to top ranked or prestigious CS schools. I have a family member who went to Berkeley and now works for Google for over 600k per year. It’s true a degree from Texas Tech is good, but many of the schools I’m applying to have a way more prestigious reputation. And even if that weren’t true, TTU is still a safety school because it’s a safe bet I’ll get in. Which I did.
Are highschool extracurriculars important to get in?
Do you see students between ages 22 - 24 or more. I’m just asking because I’m taking a while for a long time since 2015 to get associates and get a bachelors at a university. I changed a couple of majors and for that reason and another , I’m late to finish school
yes! especially once you get further into your degree plans, more so in your major specific classes than basics. but yes, i do!
just jess thank, I’m only asking because I don’t want to feel like I’m the only big kid around.
@@justjess8370 hey, I have a 3.3gpa and 850 on sat, and now they waiving scores, for 2020/2021 admission year, how are my chances
What was your gpa?
I am from Lufkin and will live in Lubbock in one year.
Texas tech baseball and basketball are lit but football has been lacking a bit
How did you completely miss the editing mistakes 😭
*gets this recommended 4 months into freshman semester*
Bruh
I hope I get a football scholarship to play at Texas Tech next year
Has anything happened yet?
@@ilikefood1662 unfortunately no i didn’t get the scholarship but I might plan on attending tech in 2023
@@captainghostlyranger sorry you didn't get it
My dad went to texas tech
what do you recommend bringing to the dorms???
im actually thinking about doing a video on this , would that be something ur interested in?
💙💙
how safe is tech?
Number 1 Rule. Get a bike. Preferably a fast bike. It’s one of the biggest campus’ in the country. Seriously get a bike.
I got accepted to Texas tech but not sure if I should go, I want to major in Biochemistry. I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!!!
make sure to look into your desired field and compare it to other schools!! check the success rated & the professors in the whatever classes your projected to take and go from there!
You can do well at biochemistry at Lubbock, follow your heart!
I would add start at a community college first and get the core classes out of the way before transferring to university. Save money and have a degree too
Incoming freshmannnnnnnn 🤪
SICK
Ayyy same
I’m attending in the fall of 2023 😌😌
My dad got a 1030 on his SAT and he’s got a PhD 🤷🏻♂️
No parties this fall :(
im sure people will find a way.. HAH
My girlfriend is going to Texas Tech!!!
she’ll love it!!
I got an undergraduate admission from you guys
yayyy!!! congrats!
How is the diversity?
Shot horizontally😀👍
What high school did you graduate from? I feel that tho, my class was around 80 graduates 😂
bandera high school!
going to tech rn and Lubbock is basically just a big trap, it's fairly poor mostly overall with a huge homeless population
they should pay you for this
I agree she should apply for admissions after graduation 👩🎓
What was your gpa when you applied?
mine was a 3.35 on a college 4point
Meh 😒 partying sucks....I can’t have alcohol lol I’m only 16!!! Lol I don’t imagine I’d like it! That’s a negative that Texas tech is a party school
Here's my advice: Go somewhere else. Lubbock sucks.
