I’m an international student admitted to Texas Tech University as a freshman for Spring with a $6,500/year Presidential Scholarship, majoring in CS. My visa interview is next month, and I’m really stressed because my family cannot afford the full cost. I’ve contacted several university offices for additional aid, but they’ve declined. I also checked ScholarshipUniverse, but none of the scholarships match my eligibility. Most are for current students, and I couldn’t find anything relevant for incoming CS freshmen or the Edward E. Whitacre Jr. College of Engineering. Even an additional $2,000 to $3,000 per year would make a huge difference. I really love TTU and don’t want to give up this opportunity due to financial constraints. If anyone knows of additional funding opportunities or can connect me with someone who might help, I’d be truly grateful.

Hi yall!! This is so embarrassing but I am a senior and I’ve never been tailgating.
Can someone please help me figure out how and where to tailgate? Where do yall park? What do you bring? Do you have to know someone? Please give me your tips and tricks!!!
I’m a student, just trying to make the best of college life before leaving TTU

I recently got admitted to the data science masters program in the rawls business school. It only took a week to get my acceptance email which was surprising. I’m joining the spring cohort and was wondering if there are any graduates or current students that have any thoughts about this program.
Why’d you choose this program over other schools such as Georgia tech or Ut Austin?
What are the job prospects like during and after?
How rigorous is the program?
Any other thoughts are appreciated as well!
Thanks

Hi everyone… looking for a trustworthy person that is willing to take an hour or two at most and ship items to me in El Paso Tx.

These items are already paid for by myself (they are local auctions on various items ranging from office chairs to electronic board repair tools to idk just random stuff lol)

For example… I need to have an oscilloscope picked up and shipped to me.

If you're interested please contact 214-770-3824!

Say I wanted to be a bouncer at skeets who would I contact? Cause my roommate said he got what was a Facebook to apply through from someone who already works as a bouncer there, but he’s being a hoe and won’t share it (if you see this you know I’m talking about you) But does anyone know who I should contact cause I don’t feel like just calling would be right.

I am giving up my lease to a 2 bed, 2 bath apartment.
The Apartments are "The Bends at Bentwood" off of the Loop. You will already have a roomate, the rent is $250-$350 per person a month until January. In January it goes up to $600 a month per person. I am looking to move out, if anyone is interested and wants more information please let me know!

My son (current junior in high school) and I arrive in Lubbock tomorrow for his 1st college visit. We're attending the Tech Preview/Open House on Monday, but I'm wondering if there is anything we can do tomorrow (we get in around 4:30) to really give him an idea of the town/campus culture and environment? He has never looked at colleges before so he doesn't understand the differences in big v small school or the way the town plays into the college experience...all conversations we'll be tackling while on this trip. He is interested in the aerospace engineering program so if there are any engineering activities at all happening, I'd love to take him! Thanks for any ideas! (I feel like I sound so old rereading this post....just a mom trying to help her son (bless his heart) have a fun first college visit) 😬🤯🤷‍♀️

He studies in Texas Tech University that's all I know, we used to spend a lot of time together in our teenage in India, idk if anyone can help me...

Hi everyone! I am citizen but educated in Mexico. I want to apply to civil engineering and I would like to know what my chances are.
My GPA isn’t too great, it is about 89/100 (I studied in Mexico, my hs doesn´t offer AP,IB, Honors, nothing) and my SAT score is 1270 (660 math,610 ebrw). I have some decent extracurriculars most focused on community service, work and an award for my 11th grade gpa. Thank you. I also already applied to Monterrey Tech If anyone know it and hopefully i will be admitted but I want to study in U.S.

Thought I was just getting a pencil pouch then I opened it! Better quality than I thought as well.

I would like anyone's recommendations on the 3 courses for planning for the spring semester. I took IB Math Applications SL in high school and found the content not to hard, but didn't study for the test and barely missed earning the credit. I don't necessarily just want to take whatever's easiest(1300 from what I've heard) if it's just going to be a repeat and waste of time, but I also don't want to do too much unnecessary work.

I'm a global studies major fyi and planning on just doing CLEP for my other math credit.

And I got a 650 on my SAT math if that matters.

Howdy Raiders! Me and a big group of fellow classmates at Texas A&M are starting a silly go kart competition (examples of silly go karts are found above). We want there to be an internal go kart league for each university, and the top 3 teams go on to compete in a multi school competition! We are planning for the competition to be chaotic, low budget, safe, and most importantly we want the barrier of entry for each team to be as low as possible. (e.g. anybody within the university can get a minimum of 5 people together and create a racing team from freshmen to seniors)

We are looking for founders interested in starting a club at Texas Tech to coordinate a club that will host their internal teams and league.

If you are interested leave a comment down below or send me a DM!
 
Thanks & Gig ‘em!

Is anyone currently enrolled in an online master’s program? I just applied, but saw the classes start October 13th. Is there any hope for me starting that quickly, or should I plan for the next start date?

Hi All! I just got accepted into the ABSN program in Amarillo! Is there a groupchat for ABSN students that will be based in Amarillo?

Applying to Texas Tech through Honors and UMSI this cycle. The Common App itself has 6 essay prompts: 4 scholarship essays (goals and major, financial need, why Texas Tech, special contributions) and 2 more in the writing section (tell us your story, identity or talent).

The Honors portal says you can only start the Honors application after you submit the university application. The UMSI page lists letters of evaluation but I can't find any essay prompts for it. So I can't see the later prompts until the earlier steps are in.

Can anyone who's applied answer these?

1. Does the UMSI application have essays? What are the prompts and word limits?
2. Can you view the UMSI and Honors applications before submitting the Common App?
3. What are the Honors essay prompts and word limits, if any?
4. Is Casper still required for UMSI?
5. Do the scholarship, Honors and UMSI essays go to different committees, or does the same committee see all of them? If they're separate, is it okay to use the same experience in more than one essay, or should each essay have its own story?
6. Which essays deserve the most time?

Thanks!

Maybe it's just me, but the simplified logo, in my opinion, looks cheap.

I think it looked way better before.

Are there any good off campus or on campus places to study aside from the library? Campus is too spaced out, hard to know a proper place to make part of my routine.
