My son is currently trying to compare and decide between these three programs. We have visited Tech & A&M and will be visiting OU this coming week. Would you mind sharing your experiences with the program? I’m sure many of you had the same options. What made you choose Tech’s program over other ones?
Thank you so much for your input!
The reason why I chose Tech is because they offered me a good transfer scholarship, but now that I’m living here and experiencing I am feeling out of place. A lot of the students here are into Greek life it is definitely huge. I myself am in APO which is a co-ed fraternity and its service fraternity as well, but I feel alone. The best advice that I would give your son is when deciding on schools, please make sure that he enjoys the school and people, the environment of the school first. Now, I enjoy Lubbock (I’m coming from a big city), but when it comes to being a minority and do not really fit into religious or Greek life groups, it isn’t simple fitting in. Also, there are multicultural groups such as an all white, all Hispanic, all black, all Asian group, but I tell you. If it isn’t panhellic than it isn’t big and most students on the weekend either smoke pot in their apts, drunk lots of alcohol, or cry their eyes out because there isn’t as much things to do. I’m starting to not like it here at Tech because I don’t fit in. Also, if he does decide to live off of campus, tell him please don’t decide to sign his lease early. My mistake of doing that and now I am stuck and cannot transfer out.
