Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Tech is a melting pot of guys and girls from big cities and small towns in Texas. The appearance, personality, and interests of Tech students vary widely, but being personable is something each group has in common. It will be easy to find a great group of friends in Lubbock, no matter who you are before you become a Red Raider. On a Tech visit, it is almost impossible to walk around town or campus without bumping into an attractive and friendly girl. The problem is that many Tech girls tend to be overly friendly with the opposite sex, branding Tech’s female population as somewhat less than classy or sophisticated. A good percentage of the girls at Tech are bleach-blonde and tan, even in the winter, and wear little outfits that get even smaller when they go to fraternity parties.

Girls at Texas Tech are given a lot of credit for their looks, but the guys are the real gems. Unlike the female population of Tech that is relatively uniform in appearance, the male population mixes it up, ranging from hardcore cowboys who have never ridden a horse to the hardcore gym fanatics who somehow manage to keep a sun-kissed glow during Lubbock’s icy months. Once you find the type of guy that you want to date, there are plenty more where that came from. Tech guys tend to group together in fraternities or clubs, and they begin to take on the persona of the group. From the way they dress to the slang they use, each group of guys is unique, and it is easy to find a place to fit in.

People Are Attractive but Rude

Texas Tech is full of beautiful people. That is one of the first things you will notice. The next thing you will notice is that busses are absolutely silent, nobody talks. Although we are passionate football fans, we have terrible attitudes and are known for being awful to other surrounding schools. If you are interested in Greek Life, Tech is the place to go. They are everywhere and very active.

Students at Tech

Most of the student population at Texas Tech is in a sorority or fraternity. Guys and girls are both conceited and not very friendly compared to other places in Texas.

Texas Tech

Texas Tech boys and girls are surprisingly really nice people. Tech seems to have the stigma of where if you're not in a sorority/fraternity then you're no one. That really isn't true, everyone is friends with everyone.

Facts

Social Scene

The social scene at Tech changes with each year you call Lubbock home. Freshman and sophomore years are dominated by house parties and frat parties, but come junior and senior years, the bars see new faces and lots of them. Girls usually start the night with girls, and guys with guys, making the initial run-ins at the bar much more fun, but everyone is well-mixed at the after-party around 2 a.m. Besides hanging out at night, guys and girls at Tech take advantage of the daylight and usually spend it together. At most schools, students can fall into the routine where girls and guys only hang out after hours, but in a town where you make your own fun, good company is a must-have, and Tech has it.

Hookups or Relationships?

With Tech students, especially freshman, first dates usually come after first kisses if they ever happen at all. When the only thing separating 18-year-old men and women is a foyer or a stairwell, hook-ups will inevitably ensue. In a school over 20,000 students you would think that there would be enough girls and guys for each person to have their own mate, but the reality is that Tech is full of attractive people, and one man’s ex is another man’s treasure. As you move out of the dorms and into a real-life living situation, relationships make a little more sense, and hooking up with one person is more appealing than hooking up with several. You can have a great college experience without seriously dating anyone, but it is definitely worth it when you get a good one.

Best Places to Meet Guys/Girls

Lubbock is a college town, so meeting guys and girls is almost impossible to avoid. Walking to class, sitting in class, strolling through the grocery store, working out, walking around the dorms, eating at the Market—you name the activity, and more than likely you can and probably will run into someone you know or want to get to know. The best way to meet people is to get involved in something. Whether you go Greek, go to church, go to a bar, or any combination of the three, as long as you are out and about, you are bound to find a friend.

Dress Code

The dress code in Lubbock is “anything goes.” None of the bars or local hangouts have dress codes, and flip-flops will fly at even the nicest restaurants. However, girls and guys like to go out looking good. Guys should bring their button-downs and khakis, and girls their stilettos and favorite flirty dresses. Going to class, though, is a different story for students. During the day, members of either sex wearing anything but a T-shirt will get looks that are both good and bad.
