Just how conservative is TT? Will my son be a pariah if he is an agnostic, for example, or has liberal ideas? He is a sensitive, interesting kid and not at all a partier type. He’s never even gone on a date with a girl even though he’s a senior in high school (and no, he isn’t gay…he did have a sweetheart in 8th grade and is interested in girls, but now is too busy with extracurriculars and academics to ask one out I think.) Will TT be a total mismatch for him? He wants to major in Chemical Engineering but also march in band. He is social and friendly and gets along with people well, though, and is probably the most non-judgmental person I know. Thanks for any advice.

<p>He will fit in just fine. It’s a big school and there are plenty of people of every kind here.</p>

Hello, I have been accepted into Texas Tech University and have already selected my housing to reside in Horn dorm next fall… It seems to appear that Horn is not affilitated with any community, so is it kinda like a free for all? </p>
<p>I am studying to be a lawyer, but I like the spacious room and feel of the moveable furnished rooms… reason why i have chosen it. It seems to me that Murdough hall is the actual dormitory for pre-law students… but I like horn hall
<p>I know it would be cool to form study groups and stuff but since Horn hall isnt a learning community dorm (only Knapp is) then, wont there be people of all different studies around?
</p>
<p>Learning communities aren’t that big of a deal, and it’s almost better to be around different types of people. You can join study groups without living in a LC, and honestly most freshman aren’t even taking courses for their major yet. Enjoy Horn!</p>

<p>Yes I think Murray would be a great match for you. Many international students do live in Murray, and it has a social atmosphere but not much partying since it is full of a lot of honors students for the honors LC.</p>
