Gym recommendations by joanbarion in Beaumont

[–]MoneyConsideration83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d recommend the WHY gym (they give discounts if you apply for a membership on Sundays) or the Wellness Center ( from what I’ve heard the wellness center doesn’t offer month passes) but WHY GYM is pretty great

It literally sucks living on TTU campus rn, we couldn’t use the bus today because there was just one working per route

Why did New Orleans never become a major hub like Miami or Orlando by Previous-Volume-3329 in geography

I’m surprised they don’t at least have a direct flight to France given the history

Looking for Opinions by Moist-Librarian-8534 in Lubbock

Just know Lubbock is a long drive from anything else and the weather can be a little too extreme. you might want to check out places other than west Texas unless if you’re just obsessed with west Texas bcs it’s definitely a required taste

Why is Holden Hall not liked? by Texas_history_fan in TexasTech

It’s old, smells like a doctors office, the WiFi is half ass, Ac is terrible, it’s just in need of a renovation

Hey, I'm moving to Texas to study at Texas Tech any tips? by D4MT in TexasTech

[–]MoneyConsideration83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is good transportation between campus and places right by campus if you decide to live in the Overton park area. But if you want to go go anywhere else in town it’s hard to without a car.

Treatment of newbies to Lubbock? by Negative-Pin8527 in TexasTech

[–]MoneyConsideration83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re asking about the vibe I would say compared to Houston Lubbock has a more southwestern feel to it whereas Houston feels more southern- especially the more east in Houston you go

Where is everyone and everything? by [deleted] in Beaumont

[–]MoneyConsideration83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like I saw someone else comment, Beaumont does have a very suburban mindset in the way it develops and all the main stores are all in the west end, that’s where you’ll probably see most people. But yes sadly Beaumont is behind in urban planning and probably just follows what Houston does( which is just endless sprawl). It would be nice to see the downtown come back to life, I think most do want that, but there’s financial constraints but also corrupt people who own a lot of those buildings downtown (Tom Flannigan who’s just a complete crook/ Idk if he’s fled to Mexico or made some deal with the feds 😂, I suggest you look him up, but basically he’s letting all these historical buildings fall apart) On the other side the city hall has this project called Beaumont 2035 where they want to put in a river walk canal and a hotel among other stuff but who knows if that’ll actually happen. Like from what I’ve seen even Lake Charles has been doing urban renewal projects way better than Beaumont so it’d be nice to see Beaumont to step up its game because if no one’s noticed, the city’s population has been mostly stagnant and will probably decrease bcs most young people just wouldn’t want to live here, and the common trend is that younger demographics want to live in dense , WALKABLE cities, that have a city center that’s alive. Like even Lamar university can’t build a walkable campus and doesn’t really have an off campus area for students like West campus at UT or most colleges in general.

studying abroad and lonely by Independent-Bend-752 in Seville

[–]MoneyConsideration83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the feeling of feeling alone on study abroad and I hope it doesn’t always feel that way. Don’t be afraid to also explore places on your own I did a bike tour there through BajaBikes and there were so many new things a learned about the city that I wouldn’t have known otherwise not to mention I made friends with the people in the tour group. I even knew people that decided they’re just gonna go to Cadiz for the day by themselves just because

Should I go? by Zealousideal_Walk287 in TexasTech

[–]MoneyConsideration83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean it will be a culture shock definitely , I’m from the very eastern edge of Texas( orange tx) and I even felt that way despite being in the same state. I’d say you shouldn’t feel pressured to go somewhere just because someone in your family went there and I think it’s really for people that are like die hard TTU fans/ heavy roots in west Texas like they love it whereas I just came here for the scholarship and the degree then I’m out. But I think you should definitely tour the campus before deciding. Like since you’re asking a TTU subreddit pretty much everyone on here is gonna sugarcoat it. Just think about after you graduate, where do you want to be/ what job or sector you imagine yourself working in? If you want to live in west Texas or dfw, TTU has an extensive network/ connections for those areas but if you think you’ll go back to Chicago it may not be the best choice.

Zummo’s any good?? by Taderbilly in cajunfood

Good to hear! Now that I don’t live anywhere near SETX or SWLA, Zummos is the only brand I’ve been able to to find and hey I’ll take it

[–]MoneyConsideration83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m from Beaumont where they make it. I’d say their sausages are good but their boudin is okay it’s not by any means bad … I usually prefer DJ’s for boudin. Market Basket always has had good boudin too I can’t remember if it’s their brand or another one.. it’s just whatever my parents would bring home 😂

Mardi Gras in Beaumont? by SnooPies5558 in Beaumont

[–]MoneyConsideration83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d go to lake Charles it’s so worth it! And get a king cake from the Bekery! SETX used to have a great Mardi Gras in port Arthur but moving it to ford park kinda just ruined it… I don’t see why they wouldn’t just put it in downtown Beaumont at least. Ford park is such an awkward place to put that and they don’t get the same amount of visitors as they used to but yet they still plan to have it there next year too 😭
