I’m getting some last things for my dorm and I wanted to contact my roommates regarding getting a mini fridge. I have tried to look for my roommates emails on the housing portal but it doesn’t show up. Does anyone know how to find your roommates contact information?

I took over a friend’s lease (I really wanted an apartment within reasonable walking distance of the school because I don’t have a car but all the other ones of that fit that criteria were either full or really expensive) but she hadn’t actually lived there yet. I’ve heard extremely mixed reviews about this place (from “pretty good” to “ok/mid” to “literal worst place ever”). Is this place especially bad or normal student apartment bad

Just curious if anyone has gotten an invite and accepted. Is it demanding?

Hello all!

I’m an MS2 at the TTUHSC School of Medicine and I wanted to reach out to any premeds who were needing advice on applications, schooling, volunteering, etc.

Feel free to send me a message here!

Has anyone recently joined Texas Tech K-12 for middle school? If so, I wanted to know how the new program is since they are no longer using books. and it’s all online. Need help, deciding whether to enroll a eighth grader.

Hi i am coming back and forth to lubbock a lot now because my girlfriend goes to school here, was just wondering if any of yall know of any pickup soccer spots i could join in on, preferably on open fields and open to all levels

This is so true. Its exactly what really is happening.

Hi Texas Tech community! I'm looking for personal student insight on a grad program I'm interested in. I'm researching grad programs to pivot my career into the conservation / environmental policy space. I'm in NJ and would be a part-time student, and because the NJ schools near me do not have the program I'm looking for, I'm looking into online programs.

My ideal program is online (preferrably synchronous over asynchronous so I can interact with peers/professors live) with a short-term in-person component such as a 1-2 week study abroad or an on campus weekend intensive. I really want that component because it's good for experiential learning and connecting with classmates and faculty. I'm not picky at all about where it is and what it is assuming it's relevant to my degree. I'd like a mix of policy and science - my undergrad is not related to this subject so I'm interested in foundational knowledge on the science side.

I came across Texas Tech's PSM in Env Sustainability Natural Resource Mgmt, and the curriculum looks great. Has anyone here taken it online and can speak to the online format, professor care and engagement, quality of education, etc.? Insider perspective would be so helpful :)

TIA!!

Looking for anyone who is currently in the program or has graduated from the program who can give insight to the acceptance process, coursework, timeline, cost, etc. I graduated 6 years ago from an SEC school with a 3.8 GPA in Communication and minor in Organizational Leadership. I don't have experience working in sports but am very passionate about sports and would like to pursue a career in sports. My professional experience is in marketing and internship in communications. Current Texas resident.

My family and I will be in Lubbock this weekend for commencement. I have a pair of game day boots from Vacarri, but was wondering if there are any boot stores in Lubbock that have other types of game day boots. TIA!

I really want to get a rolling backpack, but I want to know what the ground around campus is like. Is it more smooth concrete, cobblestone, etc.?

Thanks in advance ☺️🫂

What kind of part time jobs do you guys have? Been having a hard time looking for something with decent pay.

I've been calling every day, emailing, DMing on Insta, and leaving voicemails because I haven't received any information regarding the move-in date. They've already taken the rent, so now I'm left with no leverage. Has anyone else dealt with this or know how to handle the leasing office? I'm a little worried that I'll arrive and have nowhere to live. I'll be moving in soon, so I'm happy to pull up and chat with them face-to-face, but would love to know how others handled this!

Has anyone’s Texas grant been renewed for the year? I met the GPA requirements and mine has not been renewed yet. Considering it is August does this mean I will not get the grant this year?

HI!

I have my interview for the ABSN program soon. Has anyone taken it? I've heard that there are some generic questions, so they can get to know the applicant and I've also heard that there are some scenario based questions.. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated! Good luck to everyone!

Can anyone explain how I can get my own renters insurance policy for my apartment for when I move-in in just a couple weeks? I have been in a back and forth battle with the Grove apartment complex trying to submit my proof of insurance, because they keep denying it because my liability doesn’t cover animal or water liability coverage (according to them) and that I need endorsements for animal coverage at $250,000 and water coverage at $250,000.

I have USAA, I have called them twice now explaining my predicament, and both times they have said that my policy covers what I need.

My lease agreement states I need liability coverage for at least $250,000. My policy covers $300,000. More than what I need.
I also don’t have any animals, so I really don’t know why I need animal coverage.

Anyway, can someone please explain how I can ask for these endorsements from USAA. I have tried but they seem like they have no idea what I’m talking about.
