<p>what are yalls opinions on texas tech?</p>
<p>Send a message to lonestardad. His son is at Tech and very happy. Their honors college is really good- lots of small classes and top professors. Lubbock is kind of a neat college town- but west Texas isn't for everyone. I think Tech is a good alternative to the two giants. Plus-you have Bobby Knight!</p>
<p>just a friendly bump</p>
<p>Browsing through a few of the "Voices" e-mail newsletter in the Tech Honors College website will give some examples of the wide variety of experiences open to these students. For instance, in the latest Voice (March 28th) Tech Honors students are invited to visit personally with a Brown University professor who is giving a lecture on Darwinism versus Intelligent Design. In a few days the Honors College is hosting representatives from numerous honors programs and honors colleges in the "Great Plains Honors Council". This past Friday there was a current events discussion on immigration issues with lunch provided to students. Preparatory materials for the discussion were listed. Here are a couple excerpts from the March 28th Voice.</p>

<p>what are yalls opinions on the college of agriculture. although i plan on going into the vocation of ministry, i need a backup if it doesnt work out, and range management seems practical for someone like me</p>
<p>anybody got any input?</p>
<p>I'm down with the whole range management thing, whatever that is. By the way, I think the Range Management Department at NYU sucks!</p>
<p>range management: its kinda a combined focus of animal science, plant science, and agribusiness(which is basically just like finance, except it works on the commodities market in Chicago rather than the NYSE). Americas economy would be nothing like it is if it werent for smart people pursuing this and similar majors, since without having someone reap the product of the earth, you'd have no finished products or more importantly, food. i would even go to say that agriculture is the most important facet of any economy, due to no other economic activity being possible without it(aside from gambling i guess)</p>
<p>R.M. sounds interesting. Looks like a neat thing to have as a backup plan.</p>
<p>Camper89 - It's not often I encounter veiled (or not so veiled) snobbery showing up on the CC forum. As you are aware, Texas Tech has one of the few range management majors in the country. You already have high statistics from your test scores and grades, so many options college-wise will be opened up to you. As for Tech, you could be in both the Honors College and majoring in Range management, if that was your desire. Also, as you may be aware, there are some very large and active mainline Protestant churches just down the street from Tech (First Baptist Church on Broadway, for instance).</p>
<p>huh whos being snobby? apologies if its myself who being arrogant. my buddy goes to fbc lubbock,loves the church, especially the paradigm.</p>
<p>The NYU comment had a tinge of intellectual snobbism.</p>
<p>I think it was me who was being snobby, and I apologize.</p>
<p>what are yalls opinons on lubbock? i know its known as hub city but my experience in the south plains revolves around plainview, canyon, and amarillo</p>
