Lubbock is a medium sized city of about 200,000 people. it's is a fairly conservative town. the people are very friendly, and as you can tell from the above posts there is not much around it but cotton fields, cotton fields and more cotton fields broken up by the occasional pumpkin farm.
it has few trees, is mostly brown, very very flat and when the wind blows from the east the stockyards and cotton gin odor is pretty tough to take.
the business school at tech is rated the lower than all the other major schools in the state. u of texas, smu, tx a&m, houston, baylor and ut dallas are all rated higher (in that order). do you have a choice?
the good thing about lubbock is...let me think. the weather is ok, as it is very arid. not many rainy days, but a few dust storms in the spring and fall when the farmers are turning the soil and the wind (the wind is constant) kicks up the dirt.
some of the most beautiful sunsets you'll ever see.
but no, I really don't know much about it....
edit: of that list, purdue is the best school, valpo is pretty good. san diego st and portland are the two best cities (imo) especially portland, it's beautiful.
