Texas Tech. From a transfer student perspective. (Ask me anything)

I transferred to Tech last semester too from Texas A&M. Coincidentally, tekboi, I’m from Kenner; well, that was the last place I lived before moving to Texas.

Anyways, before I start my nostalgic trip, I agree tekboi. Texas Tech is situated in a very supportive city. The people here seem to adore Tech students; and there is some diversity, especially compared to A&M. And maybe because my first school was A&M why my views may be skewed since A&M is a bit on the extreme, but I found Tech a little conservative - not much (outside the business school). Again, that’s probably because I am comparing Tech to A&M, which is known as one of the most conservative universities in the country, so don’t quote me.

I also agree that frat/sorority life dominate Tech, and the members tend to stick together in their group talking about the hottest and latest gossip.
