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

I’m going into my senior year of Tech’s engineering program and I can agree with what tekboi is talking about. I live near all the bars close to campus and its frat/sorority central. The bars are cool to go to if you’re going with a couple of friends to loosen up a little after a hard week of studying. However, I must warn you that the girls are pretty hard to talk to if you aren’t in a frat for some reason. I don’t really like the frat/sorority community, they all seem to be too caught up into spending dad’s money. I actually have a crazy story to tell about me being invited to a frat party then being kicked out in less than a minute. I’ll write it up on the next post.

I have yet to go down to the depo area but I will consider it since it’s my last year up there. Ive been to a few cool parties but they aren’t wild parties. I’m from the Houston area so I know what a wild party is like.

Oh and one other thing I want to note that I find funny. Frat boys have a uniform they wear around campus, at least thats what I call it. Long sleeve Ralph Lauren button up shirts, khaki shorts, Sperry boat shoes and Oakley or Ray-ban sunglasses with that weird neck strap on them. Be on the lookout around campus I bet you’ll pass by at least 5 walking in between classes. *****!!! They crack me up every time I see them.

As for books, I’ve always looked on that webpage to get my books. I don’t order my books from there I just get the ISBN needed for that class and go from there. I’m sure the teachers have to inform the school which books they are going to use for that semester and from there it gets past on to the local bookstores.
