<p>Texas Tech Business
I am considering transferring to Tech from my community college. I'm thinking of Tech because it is a lot easier to get into than UT- I have assured admittance.
I just want to know how the business school and the International Business program rank in comparison to the other big public univeristy business schools in Texas and the nation. I've heard it is a very good school, but would like your opinions.</p>
<p>Also, if anybody has been to Tech or knows people that go there, how is the town life? I know it is nothing compared to Austin, but is there anything to do? I mean I know its in the middle of nowhere, but could I find stuff to keep me busy on weekends, etc.?
Also, is there a diverse culture?
Thanks</p>
<p>Bingo. I found it. According to BusinessWeek, Texas Tech has a respectable business program, but nothing compared to UT or A&M. Which corresponds with most other rankings. Tech is a solid school, but not a top-ranked national player like UT or A&M.</p>
<p>For public undergraduate business programs in the state of Texas, BusinessWeek ranks them as follows:</p>
<p>UT Austin - #10
Texas A&M - #37
Texas Tech - #77
UT Dallas - #80
U of Houston - #87</p>
<p>Don’t pick your school solely on BusinessWeek rankings. You can make just as much money with a finance degree from Tech as you can from A&M.</p>
<p>IMHO, with the exception of McCombs at UT, I think most of the business schools in Texas, including A&M, are more or less on the same footing.</p>

<p>I was there for a semester and transferred to A&M. The one thing I really liked about Tech is that it was easy as hell to meet and befriend people. You didn’t have a bunch of high school cliques carry over or a bunch of small town kids still stuck in their snow globe. Everyone there acted like they were in college.</p>
<p>That said, Lubbock was a ****ty excuse of a college town and the only thing to do there was drink and go to house parties.</p>
