Where students live
Furnished per-bedroom communities cluster in Overton Park just east of campus and in cottage-style developments north of campus, with cheap conventional apartments citywide and popular houses in Tech Terrace.
Lubbock has one of the deepest purpose-built student-housing markets anywhere — American Campus Communities alone runs four properties at the campus edge. TTU maintains an official off-campus property directory.
