Registration Holds for freshmen?

I’m a first year (freshman) Honors college student. Is having an honors advising appointment a hold on registration or is that just optional? Also, what’s the survey we have to take or else it’ll be a hold? The registration site is down for me so i’m unable to check.

Stangel-Murdough Roommate?

I currently live over in Wall. I plan to move over to Stangel more likely for the next school year and don't want to get stuck with another totally random person again. So let me know if you are interested in being roommates.

Things about me:

I am a generally clean person, I can let s mess build up but it is nothing that isn't manageable or unreasonable.

I do a deep clean once a week (my side and shared spaces)

I am not a morning person

I stay up late but I try to be as quiet as possible usually lights out between 12-1 AM

I sleep with a fan on

Geology Major

Not looking to be friends or anything, but to be able to cohabitate together with minimal issues.

DM me if interested.

Is MGT 4377 (Family Enterprise) an easy class? Thoughts on Professor Anish Quenim?

I'm considering taking MGT 4377 (Family Enterprise) next semester and was wondering if it’s an easy A. How’s the workload, and are the assignments and exams pretty straightforward? Also, if anyone has taken it with Professor Anish Quenim, what’s he like as a teacher? Any advice or insights would be much appreciated!

FIN 3320 (Financial Management) - Merriman vs. Winters? Advice Needed!

I’m planning to take FIN 3320 (Financial Management) this spring and can’t decide between Bobby Merriman and Drew Winters. For those who have taken this course with either professor, what was your experience like?

Also, any tips on how to best study for this class? I've heard it's a bit of a challenge, so any advice on what to focus on or how to approach the material would be super helpful. Thanks

Is it possible to ask a academic advisor to remove a hold

I have been busy and I was not able to do a meeting my advisor. Housing registration is today. Is it possible for them to remove for a hour. I also ask if I can do a meeting at their drop in meeting times but it is at 3pm.

Best room in Knapp?

Hello! I'm trying to get a head start on choosing my dorm and I was wondering what the biggest room is in Knapp. I use mobility aids so I need a bit more space. I heard the third floor is the best so what is the biggest room on the third floor? For context im choosing Knapp because that's where the WISE learning community is.

Hi, i am an international student that might want to transfer to one of these universities in 2026
TTU
UTA
UH
for bs data science/analytics
What might be the main differences other than location(i already know ttu has least advantage for location), such as service for international students or teachers that might teach real world applications

Trump or Harris will be in office until 2029. Cruz or Allred until 2031. Old people are showing us up b/c they have less time left. The future of every Texas Tech student will be impacted. Vote and tell your friends to vote. Red or blue.

Tech Terrace desirable for students?

My daughter is a freshman, both my wife and I graduated from TTU so we knew the area well but I’m curious what people think about the Tech Terrace area to purchase a house and then rent it to my daughter and 2-3 roommates. I’m not looking to make money, just hoping to not lose as much if she just rents for three years. Thinking of a 3-4 bd rm, 2 bath.

What would you consider a good deal on rent and is this a more desirable area than a new apartment further out for students? There’s a good chance my son attends in a few year’s too. Any other advice appreciated.

Quick question about suite odds

My twins were just accepted for 2025 and we signed up for Stage 2 Express Pass for housing selection.

Are the odds pretty good they will be able to get into a 4-bed suite? (Murray or Talkington I think?)

Should we make sure they are awake at the crack of dawn on the 14th to make the selections?

I submitted 5 sat scores and have been accepted to 2 schools that I sent them to but on my application dashboard for Texas tech it still hasn't received them. Does it take longer than normal to send scores to Texas Tech?

Commuter West Parking Lots

Does anyone know how often they check the Communter West Parking lots? I do not have a parking pass, and do not think they are selling Commuter Parking Passes anymore. If I park in one of the Commuter West lots, what are the odds I do not get a ticket?

L Roommate, What should I do?

Im a Sophomore ME student and my roommate sucks. At first it was bearable but I’m at the end of my rope. He’s never cleaned his side of the room but I often let it slide bc it’s contained to that side. He thinks we share a fridge and trashcan even though he’s contributed to neither. He has gone through my closet to take water and trash bags without asking, and today he let his drunk friend stay the night while he went off somewhere else, and he threw up in my trash can. I’m guessing bc I didn’t freak out when he allowed him to sleepover before when he was too drunk to go home, but the only reason I did that was bc my roommate was there. Btw the friend is still in my room as we speak. I’ve alr resolved to talk with him and ban his friend from sleeping over(and maybe entering the room at all), but I’m bad with confrontation so I haven’t kicked him out yet but if he’s here when i get back from class I might lose it. Should I kick him out now or wait till my roommate gets back?

The Republic Subletting

We are looking for a 3-bedroom option at the Republic for the month of July and were wanting to sublet as we will be attending the HSC and need an earlier move-in time as the semester starts in July, but the Republic is not guaranteeing an earlier move-in time. We are attending the medical school if anyone knows any place that allows move-ins in July for a 3-person place!
