Date Ideas For Texas Tech Students

Lubbock may seem like a boring place at first but once you start to get to know the home of Texas Tech, then you'll start to see the hidden treasures within the city. Here are some cute date ideas to do with your significant other or you can turn them into friend dates:

1. Stars and Stripes Drive-In.

There aren’t many drive-ins left and there just happens to be in right near Texas Tech that is a perfect date-night spot. Grab your truck and head on over to the Stars and Stripes Drive In and enjoy watching recent movies.

2. Have drinks on Broadway (if you're of age, of course).

For those 21 an older folks, Broadway is known all around Lubbock for being the hotspot for great bars and drinks. Have a margarita at Chimy’s or drink some delicious beer from the tap at Mesquite’s, you’re sure to have a great time.

3. Go two-stepping at Wild West.

There is nothing more West Texas like than putting on your cowboy boots and heading to Wild West with your date for college nights on Thursdays. Don’t worry about having two left feet; two stepping is piece of cake!

4. Go stargazing.

The night skies around Texas Tech are so clear that you can the stars for miles. Drive about ten minutes in any direction in Lubbock and you will probably find a great spot to lie out and point out the constellations. Who knows, maybe you’ll even see a shooting star!

5. Watch the sunset.

The sunsets at Texas Tech are probably some of the most gorgeous sunsets you will ever see during your time here on Earth. Find a spot on campus or drive out into the countryside and watch the sunset. You’ll fall in love with the sunset and with your significant other even more.

6. Go hiking at Ransom Canyon.

Ransom Canyon is known for being the center of hiking (other than Palo Duro, which is further out from Tech) near Texas Tech and nearly everyone spends a weekend or two hiking and enjoying the view up there. You certainly don’t have to be in great shape or even be a fan of the outdoors to enjoy this great place. It’s not hard to hike and the view is magnificent.

7. Spend a day at Buffalo Springs Lake.

If you’re looking to spend a weekend or a day out on the water then Buffalo Springs Lake is the place you’ll want to go. This lake is beautiful and is surrounded by some great hills that you can also hike and get a great, whole view of the lake. Take some food to grill out and enjoy a day on the lake. Remember to put on sunscreen!

8. Go tailgating/to the game together.

Everyone LOVES game day here in Raiderland and what better occasion to show your love support for your school than to dress in Tech attire with your date and go to a tailgate together. Tailgating is a college football tradition anywhere and doing it at Tech will definitely make for some good memories and cute pictures.

9. Take a walk through the First Friday Art Trail every month.

Take a walk through Lubbock’s Cultural District on the first Friday of every month and see some of the best art galleries and meet the artists.

You'll bound to get some creative juices flowing and maybe even become inspired!

10. Grab some authentic Mexican snacks and treats at Raspados Colima.

It’s Texas, southern state, neighbors with the Mexican border so who wouldn’t like some nice and authentic Mexican food? Raspados Colima is a small but delicious place where you can find all sorts of Mexican treats and goodies. They also have a taco truck that serves some of the best authentic tacos around Tech. Make sure to stop by and grab a bite to eat with your date!

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
