City- Lubbock
Currently, I study in the Texas Tech
University which is in the Lubbock, Texas; therefore, I would like to briefly
introduce about Lubbock. Since I have been here for over one year, I think that
I can introduce some features about the Lubbock.
Lubbock is located in the northwestern part
of the state and I would like talking about its terrain, terrain, the physical
features, and the weather. The terrain of Lubbock is high plains which make the
scenery monotonous. When you drive through this city, all you can see is short
grass and brown dust on the ground and there are not many trees in this city.
The weather is extreme here. In the summer, the weather is super-hot while in
the winter, the weather is freezing cold. The weather is like the dessert.
Lubbock is a college city since Texas Tech
University is here and it provides some unique entertainment for students and
its citizens. Tech football game is always a big event in the Lubbock. When it
is a game day, lots of people would come to the AT&T Stadium to watch the
game and feel crazy about it. Besides the football, some movie theaters are
located here. If we want to see a movie, the movie theater can fulfill our
requirements at a reasonable price. In addition, there are some night clubs
here too where undergraduate students like to hang out in the weekend. Overall,
it does not provide much entertainment as the big city does. Thus, I think this
place is good for studying and doing the research because of less interruption.
Finally, I would like talking about the
personality of people living here and their attitudes toward foreigners. In my
impression, people in Lubbock tend to be friendly, nice, passionate to
foreigners. I remembered when I first came here and I was not familiar with
this city, local people provides lots of help for me and assist me in every
aspect that I need to accustom this new environment. Even now, people here
still be passionate to help me when I have some difficulties or some problems.
The living cost is quite cheap comparing
with other cities. You can get a comfortable room with furnished furniture at a
reasonable price which it may cost more than one thousand in some big cities.
For shopping, we have Walmarts, United Supermarket, Market Street and a small
mall. We also have various kind of restaurants that serve cuisine from other
countries such as Korea, Vietnam, Thailand, and China. Overall, we can enjoy
high quality of life with less burden and pressure.
In conclusion, for me, Lubbock is a good
city which has many diverse features including weather, terrain, entertainment,
and the local people. Although Lubbock may not be the best city to live, I still
like this city because of aforementioned reasons. I think I am going to miss
this city when I graduate and leave this city.
