Popular Restaurant for Students

Hi there! My little brother is an incoming freshman. As a gift, I’d like to get him a $100 gift card to a nearby restaurant/coffee shop or whatever hang is popular among the students. I’m out of state so I’ll be purchasing it online.

Please drop any recommendations and thanks in advance!

I’ve been taking two classes each 8-week period, and receiving around the same refund amount each semester, but for this summer semester i got an extra grant and i can’t figure out why. it just says “TTU Grant - Res Summer”. does anyone know what this is or why i’m getting it???

Texas Tech or Blinn

hii, i’m currently running out of time to make my college decision and need opinions. my top two choices are texas tech and going to blinn and trying to transfer to a&m. im from austin so i like that blinn wouldn’t be far, but i really wouldn’t want to have to attend blinn for more than a year, and even that feels like a lot. i want to rush and have a normal college experience but tech feels far and i don’t know anyone going, so i dont want to end up feeling stuck and far from home there even though i do hear good things about it. i know a ton of people going to a&m, but again idk how i feel abt the lack of stability behind transferring. if anyone has any opinions on these two options i would love to hear!!

Food close to campus?

My niece is attending TTU in the fall, and for her HS grad party next week I’d like to include some restaurant gift cards in her gift. Her first few semesters she will not have a vehicle 🙈 what are the best options that are walking distance to the dorms??

On a somewhat related note, we’ve gone back and forth on gifting her an electric scooter too… thoughts on if that would be beneficial for her?

Thank you for any help!!!

TTU 1BD apartment

Hey y’all,

I’m an international female graduate student going to TTU this August and would really appreciate if y’all can recommend housing walking distance from TTU. I’m looking for a 1BD apartment and hopefully with a gym in the building. Hoping to find a clean building which is also quiet enough as I’m an early sleeper.

Thank you!
