Good university with affordable cost and living.

Tips: There are many Indian students. So didn't experience much cultural shift. I was offered a scholarship from the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering with a waiver of out of state tuition fees. The university is good with many on campus part time opportunities. My course is interesting and the faculty here teaches well. I liked this city as it is peaceful to live in.

Not satisfied for MS in computer science course.

Tips: I did not receive any scholarships. Additionally I am not satisfied with the place where the University is located as we do not have any companies. Hence, no opportunities for internships and fewer opportunities for part-time jobs. To be honest, for the course MS in computer Science this is not at all a good place to study.

Good value for money if you get a scholarship. I find more fascinating activities related to sports.

Tips: You get to experience American culture here when you roam around college and get involved in college activities. Most of the students will get scholarships in their first year of college and will be offered for the second year too if you maintain a good GPA.

Likes (Value for money): If you get a scholarship in this university then the tuition fee would be very affordable. And the chances of getting scholarships are high at this university. Faculty are also good from ECE department perspective.

Dislikes (Part time work): As there are too many international students its difficult to find a part time job inside the campus. On-campus part-time shifts are scheduled as per our academic schedule so it won't affect any of the classes. The average pay would be $10 per hour on-campus.

Big in area, best in culture and bold in teachings.

Tips: This college is good for hard working and persistent students. It has the best professors you can expect. It has the biggest campus in the whole Texas. You have to start searching for on-campus jobs as soon as you come to campus. If you want to do any of that you have to go to managers and talk to them. Please come financially prepared it's so important.

Likes (Safety): People are friendly here, you can make many friends here once you get out of your comfort zone and talk to them. You have to invest in making new friends here. It could be beneficial for us being students. Also, you'll have fun with them. Try hanging with locals here.

Dislikes (Public transportation): There is limited public transportation and only on weekdays. But uber is available 24/7. Public transport here called Citibus runs on weekdays but not on weekends. But you would be surprised that lubbock texas is so flat you can ride your bicycle anywhere.

This university is great and beneficial

Tips: You should have knowledge of at least one programming language as that is helpful. Also being friendly matters a lot here because having contacts is really important. Having all the documents ready will also save you time.

Likes (Indian Food): I think student life here is really great because when I see it from studies perspective, I think I have great benefits here. And also speaking about the place Lubbock, it’s really budget friendly place and alone a student can manage his bills. Apart from that, the student life in Texas tech university is exciting because we do have many sports games conducted in college.

Dislikes (Safety): All the professors are Ph.D. holders with great knowledge, they are friendly and helpful. They hold their students to high expectations and help students reach their goals and grades. They contribute one hundred percent to learning in the class which is highly valuable.
