Hello everyone.
I wanna transfer to one of these colleges and have no idea about any of them tbh. my major is computer sci with gpa 3.7.
I know Texas tech is kinda better in ranking but I didn’t hear good things about the city.
but Texas state is in the awesome place but the education level is not that good(( or maybe im wrong)).
Is Lubbock that bad? is Texas state is a low-level university? which one is better for finding a job in near future? classes?
everything, any experience is helpful and I m so appreciated for that.
If you know nothing about either of them, why do you want to transfer to either of them? It sure seems like you’ve got the cart way ahead of the horse.
I’m not saying there’s anything good or bad about any of the, just that your choices seemed, well, random.
Why not A&M, or North Texas or UTEP?
Make list of all the programs in TX, if you plan on staying. Then make a list of things you’d like to have. Lastly, cross reference them.
For example, if you have location ideas, and Lubbock doesn’t fit that ideal, don’t apply. City? Rural? Sunurban? Athletics? Support for your hobbies? Living expenses?
Once you have an idea based on the qualities that are important to YOU, the process will be much easier.
If you’re going into computer science, it don’t matter where you go to school. Texas State and Texas Tech are nearly identical with their CS programs. The only thing that makes Tech more recognizable is that it’s in the Big 12 athletic conference and they have a nationally ranked basketball program. Texas State has some key advantages because it’s exactly between two major cities, which means internship opportunities.
@coolguy40 Because tbh i heard about TT more than Texas state. I just concern about the future, like when I go to interview and they look at my university name, what they think about it… and ofc internships opportunities
@Aliklz, They don’t think about it nearly as much as you might think. Employers are more interested in what you can do. I went to UTSA and I had no trouble finding a job out of college. It’s because I was situated where the jobs were. It’s more practical for an employer to hire talent locally than pay to relocate them, especially for an entry level job. That gives you a major advantage. Texas State is the only university in Texas in a commutable distance to two major cities.
