Small City, Great People, Plenty to Do

Many people come to Lubbock, Texas and think that there´s nothing to do, but many others fall in love and make it their home. It´s not necessarily a college town, but there are plenty of dance halls, bars, libraries, and the campus itself always has TONS TONS TONS of different activities. For those looking for a less typical experience, there are museums, art galleries (including a craft/art show every first Friday of the month). There´s also laser tag, mini golf, go kart racing, a prarie dog reserve (which is highly entertaining to watch), the Buddy Holly museum, 2 planetariums, lakes where you can water ski, and more city parks per capita than any other city or town in Texas. The people that get bored in Lubbock just don´t know where to look. Also, the people in Lubbock are among some of the friendliest I´ve met.

Atmosphere

In Lubbock, It can seem rather country. But where you might think there wouldn't be much to do there is. You can find something every day and night of the week.
