The academic advisors are absolutely dreadful. I have never had a good/easy experience when having to deal with them. I guess they don't pay them enough
Lubbock is special. I grew so much as a person and learned an incredible amount during the 5 years that I attended here. Made some of my very best friends and made some of the best memories of my life here.
Their computer science department is a mess. They have no funding for graduate students and expect you to go work on campus while doing research and working on your PhD thesis! Very rude and unprofessional head of the department as well. Don't count on them to keep track of your application. The electrical engineering department was a little better, but still lack of funding is a problem there. They cut their Bioengineering program's funding all of a sudden and expect you to pay out of pocket for the expensive tuition and fees! Their classes are boring and a waste of time for the main part. Overall not a pleasant experience specially if you are not a religious nutcase like the rest of the bible belt!
Fantastic University! Received a first class education here and have been very successful ever since. Most of the people are laid back, open, and down to earth. There's also plenty to do in the city of Lubbock...life is what you make of it.
This review has more to do with this institution's business practices, than anything else. I was charged $97.50 for a class, I had dropped and never took. Today I found out that because the drop didn't go through, I received an "F" in that course. I got the grade removed, thanks to the awesome advisors in the Human Sciences dept. I was then charged $50.00 for them dropping me from classes. The reason: They couldn't wait less than 24hrs. for my financial aid to come in. They took longer than the 10 business days to process "missing documents" and screwed me out of those classes and charged me for their greed. They won't even rectify the situation or admit any wrongdoing on their part. Instead, I am being bounced between SBS and Financial aid, trying to get a refund or at the very least a sincere apology. Right now, the only dept. worth anything seems to be the Dept. of Human Sciences-they actually seem to care about their students and are both willing and able to assist students.
