I lived on campus as a freshman, as required by the university. Accommodations were nice in comparison to other freshman dorms of schools across the country. After the first year, almost all students live off campus, in an apartment or house since Lubbock has a low cost of living.

Cheaper than most other colleges and they give as much scholarship money as possible. The criminology program and Russian foreign language programs were rated well, and job placement after graduation is great. Smaller classes.
