SPIRIT & TRADITION
BE A PART OF
SOMETHING BIG.
Becoming part of the Red Raider family is more than just wearing Red and Black,
attending sporting events, or joining student organizations. It is the discovery
of who you are. The broadening of the mind and of the spirit. It is the ability to
express yourself freely. To explore new cultures, make new friends, and engage
in new experiences. It is the roar of Red Raiders as the Goin’ Band plays the
fight song, and the sound of victory bells on campus. It is the feeling you will
have dressed in your cap and gown as you pose for the iconic graduation
photo in front of the TTU seal. This is the spirit
and tradition of Raiderland, and it is what
you will remember long after earning
your degree!

YOUR CITY. YOUR CAMPUS.
YOUR HOME AWAY FROM HOME.
With a population of over 255,000, Lubbock has all the
conveniences of a major city and the friendliness and warmth
of a small town. Known as the “Hub-City,” Lubbock has its own
international airport and is only hours away from other metropolitan
areas providing easy access to family and friends. Texas
Tech is an integral part of the community and has been
described as one of the ten most beautiful college
campuses in the U.S. An inclusive and welcoming

“If there was one thing I would
advise anyone coming into the U.S
based on my experience, it would be to keep an open mind.
Be willing to try the food, meet new people, and most importantly,
explore. Never forget that there are so many people rooting for you; the struggle
you have today was the struggle of someone else yesterday so remain inquisitive-
ALWAYS ASK QUESTIONS, because from here, it really is possible.”
