Mixed professors, nice area
Professors were hit or miss but great experience overall. Plenty of housing around campus so it's not necessary to own a car when going to school here. Campus and architecture were also very nice. Lots of bars and restaurants close to campus.
I would highlight the diverse community.
Texas Tech is a great institution that has provided me with an effective and personalized education that has set me up for success. The advisors here are extremely welcoming and will help you with any problems you may face. The student culture is very diverse with individuals from various backgrounds and cultures, creating an enriching educational experience.
