Lubbock is a great town for students. I moved here to attend college at Texas Tech University and was pleasantly surprised at how affordable, convenient, and simplistic it is. Most places are student-friendly, some even with student discounts, and the amount of Texas Tech spirit among the entire town is so fun and uplifting! The streets and highways are organized so well that it's hard to get lost. You can almost always recognize what area you're in/what direction you're going based on the name or number of the street. It saved me a lot of trouble when I first moved here and didn't know my way around yet! In addition to all of the ease of living in Lubbock, I have never felt unsafe here. There are emergency signal "towers" all around campus as well as an active police presence, which makes me feel much better when walking around by myself. Not only on campus, but there is a courtesy officer living at every apartment complex that I toured. I would highly recommend living here!
Lubbock County is where I grew up, and will always be my childhood home. It has grown from such a small town to now busy, with over 250,000 people! Many people think that this city is boring, but it is the opposite, with fairs, shopping places, restaurants, and much more!
Lubbock is a great college town with a great environment for any college student attending Texas Tech. Good town who support the college efforts in both academics and sports. Lubbock over time has slowly begun expanding and has a lot to offer. Mulitple new restaurants and opportunities for a fun night has exploded all over town. Including a revamp of the arts area.
While Lubbock is a college town, it has become a much for family friendly town over the past couple of years. Their are multiple good schools through out Lubbock. All the schools are big enough where children get a full rounded education with equal opportunities for sports and art. While the schools are large in the academic world they are not so big that the children are not lost in the numbers. Teachers and administration workers alike take time for each child.
There are multiple parks for families and tons of places to go hiking and picnicking. Places like Palo Duro and Carlsbad Cavern are just a couple of hours away.
