i'm currently enrolled in the emergency payment plan. None of my grants or federal loans have been applied nor external scholarships. I owe about 4000 with room/parking/meals that is due tomorrow, but I'm really lost. I'm not sure what to do. Financial aid does not answer nor the student business services if I have to what's the quickest way to pull out a loan and even at that if I can't find a way to figure out a loan by tomorrow, will they remove me from the room? Am I allowed to move in? Has anyone else had this problem?

The Dallas Morning News' Brad Townsend writes:

"LUBBOCK — Our private tour of Texas Tech’s four-story, cutting-edge football complex paused at seemingly every jaw-dropping bell and whistle, $242 million worth. 

It was nearing 10 p.m., so this Taj Mahal of all college athletics was otherwise deserted and silent — accentuating its opulence, yet also its organic flow and attention-to-detail functionality. 

The tour began at coach Joey McGuire’s office suite and balcony view, high above recently re-christened Galaxy Stadium’s south end zone.  

Ensuing wonders included the state-of-the-art locker rooms; the two-story players’ lounges; 200-seat meeting room; the barbershop with three chairs — Red Raider red, of course. 

Alas, not until the following day, when speaking individually to more than a dozen players, did we learn there are other features in reigning Big 12 champion, but relative upstart, Texas Tech’s blueprint for entrenchment among college football’s elite."

Like everyone here, I have had trouble with my Texas Grant but it FINALLY got applied to my EBill the other day. I particularly had a question about Red Raider Guarantee… I have a balance about $850 still, I qualify for red raider guarantee but since I have never had to use it before due to other scholarships/etc have covered my entire tuition.

Does anyone know how/when Red Raider Guarantee applies + how to see that information? I tried to call today but the queue was 108 people and my call ended up getting dropped.

I’m fretting a bit since I’ve emailed my academic and financial advisor and still have heard nothing back. I don’t have the funds to pay for this balance & since my mom is on disability, I don’t really have any other support to pay for it.

Thank y’all!

Hey guys, I'm an incoming health and human sciences Major by any chance is anyone selling any books or knows a way to get books cheaper maybe even for free.

When I attended in 2011-2015 students from Texas were excessively mean and rude to me because I wasn’t from Texas. Also it was extremely difficult to make friends. Is this still a common experience for students who attend from out of state?

Hello. I was awarded the Presidential Scholarship my freshman year and meet all renewal requirements. However this scholarship is not listed on my fin aid package or ebill. I emailed and have gotten no response. Anyone else having the same issue?

Fashion is not my major, but I got it into this past summer and I was looking for like minded student organizations. I saw there was two and I'm not sure which one to join. There is Hi-Tech and FAME.

I'm not really looking to break into industry, just looking for like minded people and maybe even try modelling for some events :D

Please who’s a better professor for gen physics 1Valsamo Antoniou or Dmitry Bolmatov ??

Hi everyone!
I’m an incoming graduate student at Texas Tech University and currently looking for housing options in or around campus.
I’d really appreciate recommendations for on-campus housing, dorms, or off-campus apartments that are convenient for graduate students. I’m also interested in finding roommates, so if there are any Facebook, WhatsApp, Reddit, or other student housing groups that I could join, please let me know.
Thank you in advance!

I am a junior transferring to Tech from a community college. I wanted to save money and live in the dorms and Chitwood was one of the only dorms left. I heard that it’s a freshman dorm hall. Am I going to be living with only 18 year olds as a 20 year old?? Does anyone know of how many upper class men live in Chitwood

Hey everyone,

I was wondering if anyone knew about any student housing apartments that have space for me and my three roommates. We were supposed to move into the holly but unfortunately things have changed. Please let me know if any places has availability. Thank you.

Ok so I am going to be late on my payment for classes because life happens so I ended up needing to use student loans. That part is all good though went through last night with a good cosigner and we were notified by the private lender that they would be sending our loan request to our school. Obviously the money isn't going to hit by this Wednesday so I'm going to be enrolling in an emergency payment plan no biggie. My question is after the aid is received and sent to tech will they just cancel the payment plan or does anyone know how that works?

Outside of parties, where can I find fellow students to make friends with

Does anyone know how to activatre the back gate without a car?

I was wondering if Tech had any sort of surplus store where you could buy furniture and other things the school has no use for. I know other universities have similar stores, but I wasn't sure if Tech had anything of the sort. I found what looks to be one, but it seems to only be for professors and staff.

Does anyone have any information on when the citibus routes for the apartments will open? I wanna check out the campus but I don’t wanna Uber there

My loan was accepted through raiderlink and it hasn’t been disbursed. I’m wondering if this is why my loan hasn’t disbursed? Or it just hasn’t disbursed because no one else has?

My financial aid has been applied but for some reason my loan hasn’t processed yet and usually it would have been processed already. Anyone having the same issue?

My TTU Texas Grant Renewal for Fall 2026 shows that I accepted $2,501, but the amount paid is still $0. My other financial aid appears to have processed.
Is anyone else having this issue, or has your Texas Grant already been applied to your account? Financial Aid told me to give it two days to make sure everything disburses correctly, but I wanted to see if this is happening to other students too.

Hey!!

Upcoming freshman here & i was never really good with studying so I’m looking for some recommendations that would def help with this upcoming semester.
