Texas Tech University is located in Lubbock, TX. Some will say their rival is the University of Texas or Texas A&M. However, their true rival is Oklahoma State University. It's just fun to beat UT, and you can't call Texas A&M a rival if they never win. School colors are black and scarlet red. School mascot is the Red Raider; a masked Zoro type character that rides a black stallion. Texas Tech has many programs of study, undergraduates and professional students. The Texas Tech Red Raiders are members of the Big 12 Conference (South Division) and compete in Division I for all varsity sports. The Red Raiders football team has made 32 bowl appearances, which is 19th most of any university. It's current enrollment is just over 28,000 students. McDougal Development has headed a massive urban renewal program in Lubbock (largest in the country) building new living quarters, apartments, condos etc for the students of Texas Tech University not living in dormitories over a 727 acre span.
A wide variety of students can be found at Texas Tech. Currently the Hispanic enrollment at Texas Tech is #1 at 43%. Caucasian/white is at 40% being second.
There is nothing 3rd rate about this school except where it is located. Lubbock, TX isn't the greatest place if your moving say from any Liberal based larger city. Lubbock, TX is highly conservative and has more churches and banks per population than Vatican City ( im just saying that but i think its 2nd -or in the top 5- in the country ). The county in which Lubbock resides is a dry county, so no liquor sales inside the city limits. This however may change in spring of 2009, being petitioned by the majority of the population. Enough signatures were obtained to warrant a vote.
Enrollment at Texas Tech is growing steadily. Within the passed 8 years it has broken its highest enrollment records twice. However, state funding for Texas Tech is lower than most other states. This is not a Texas Tech factor, but rather a State of Texas factor being that all state funded schools in Texas do no receive adequate funding compared to many other States in the USA.

University of New Haven, aka University of No Hope but not UNH (unless there is a line thing through it) due to copyright (University of New Hampshire) is a school mainly for people hoping to one day be in the FBI by spending 4 years of Hell in the Ghetto of West Haven, Ct where you can't even go to class across campus without getting robbed. It is also the place where our future police officers get drunk and high nightly.
Person A: So where are you going to school?
Person B: University of New Haven, duh, I want to get robbed first by the parents of the people I will arrest!

An amazing college located in the heart of Texas, San Marcos. Many people feel that everyone there wanted to go to UT but couldn't get in...well all of yall are wrong! Most people chose that school (i did) even after being excepted into UT.

The small school that defeated the University of Kentucky in basketball, 84-68, on November 7, 2007 at Rupp Arena.
The greatest upset for a North Carolina school, forget Appalachian beating Michigan. The Runnin' Bulldogs brought it home.

This place is a true bubble. Everyone CHOOSES to look alike, dress alike, and act alike. If you are not a girl sporting aviators, plaid shirts, straight hair and Jack Rodgers, this school is not for you. The people who do not look like a fabricated mess do NOT fit in. It is one of the least diverse universities ever. Politics, religion, race, all the same. If you are not a conservative, stay away at all costs. People love to brag about their money because it makes them feel more comfortable with themselves. If you ACTUALLY have a lot of money, people flock to you are try to become your friend. Worst of all, 90% of the students do not realize they are at this school for a degree. They think they are there to get drunk and spread STDs 7 days a week. You will get tired of this school quickly, just quickly as you'll get tired of having meaningless sex. When you leave the campus and drive at least 2 hours away in any direction, you will feel like you were missing out on the real world. People will have sex with anyone as long as they have two legs and two arms. STDs spread like wildfire here, and no one tells their sexual partners that they will be infected. Good luck finding a lover at this school, chances are they already had sex with the rest of the student body. Gross. Parties SUCK, but very exciting to these students who were losers pre- college. They gather in dark rooms and then flash corny lights with corny students who think they are DJs.
High Point University is a trap. Everyone looks the same, spreads STDs, attends the worst college parties in the USA, and does not give a crap about their education.
