Apartment List puts Lubbock’s median one-bedroom rent at $970 a month in October 2026 and its two-bedroom at $1,169. This is a short guide: I could not find Texas Tech’s 2026–27 residence hall prices, only its contract terms.
Details come from Apartment List and Texas Tech’s 2026–27 housing contract, checked on 23 October 2026. The contract says rates are set by the university president and posted at housing.ttu.edu and hospitality.ttu.edu, so check those pages for prices. Apartment List medians are for whole apartments, not single rooms.
