Texas Tech University
📍 Lubbock, TX
Tech-In is the whole arrival process
Check-in is scanned by QR code, so keep the Texas Tech ID, a phone and a charger reachable rather than packed in a bin at the bottom of the car.
Bed and room basics
Plan on Twin XL bedding. Room type, bathroom, kitchen, air conditioning and storage vary between halls, and each hall page publishes its own furniture and dimensions, so wait for the assignment before buying rugs, organizers, furniture or shared appliances.
Pack these first
- Twin XL bedding
- Towels and shower supplies
- Laundry basics
- Approved power protection
- Identification for check-in
Rules and smart skips
- A small refrigerator must comply with current limits, so check the hall page for the size cap.
- Coordinate the refrigerator, microwave and TV with roommates rather than each buying one.
- Review Tech-In's current prohibited list before ordering anything that plugs in.
- Do not assume every room has the same appliance setup.
Before move-in
- Keep the Texas Tech ID, a government photo ID if needed, a phone and a charger accessible for QR scanning.
- Label easy-to-carry bins with name, hall and room.
- Remove bulky packaging before traveling.
- Use the assigned parking and unloading zone.
