Not that great! - 10/26/2021
This place is nothing great! It's my own fault since I have been here going on 16 years. The Air Force brought me here which wasn't my fault but when I retired from active duty I decided to stay for awhile, which was my fault. Should have decided to leave 10 years ago. Kids were in school and wife and I didn't want to make them move again. Now kids are gone and wife and I are still stuck here. Fortunately I can retire from the Air Force a second time in a few years and then CYA! I always tell people who come here that there are two things that you can count on being in Texas. A crappy climate and out of control sky high property taxes!! Only good thing I can really say about Wichita Falls is there is no traffic issues to speak of.

Just... don't - 7/24/2020
I've lived all over the country (relocated for work) and this is without a doubt the worst place I've ever had the misfortune to land. You will meet plenty of people who love it, but that's because they're from here and have never left to see that there are other options. It's hot as hell most of the year and everything is brown and scorched and then it's freezing and everything is dead from cold. You've got about 2 weeks of tolerable weather. The most exciting thing to do is to leave - go to Dallas or Oklahoma City, which are both 2 hours away. Now about food. I learned to cook here because you have to unless you want Tex-Mex, BBQ or burgers. If you want something more exotic, you're out of luck. There is NO diversity here - of people, of food, of music (it's all redneck country crap), of anything. Give up hope all ye who enter here.

JGT El-School, the best - 2/24/2017
I am Colombian, I arrived in Wichita Falls in 1992 and lived there for a year, before returning to Colombia. I attended my fourth grade at John G. Tower Elementary School. I didn't speak any English back then, and they got me into ESL. In less than 3 months, at age 9-10, I was already fluent in English. Mrs. Maria Cook was my ESL teacher. Mrs. Mary Easter was my 4th grade teacher, and Mr. Ray was the principal. My mother did not have any income, so I got my breakfast and lunch for free. I even made it to the Honor Roll by the end of the year, excelling in Math and Computer Sciences, the latter, thanks to the efforts of Mrs. Webb. They really took good care of me, and challenged me to be better everyday. I have so much to thank this school, because it really changed my life. After learning English the way I did, all the doors opened to me. I went to Med school, then became an Ophthalmologist, and later I specialized in Strabismus surgery. Most of all scientific articles out there are

Great place to raise a family!
Small enough (100,000) to know about critical issues, but large enough to have variety of businesses.
Multi-year drought has created serious water issues. These are affecting employment and housing

A good place to raise a family. - 8/21/2008
Wichita Falls is a great place to live and raise a family if you aren't the type that likes to "keep up with the Joneses." It's just big enough (103,000 population) to have all the important things but without the traffic jams. We lack a little in culture but if you really need that D/FW is only 2 hours away. When we go to bigger cities we are always glad to come

Jobs - 11/3/2007
I have lived in Wichita Falls for over a decade. The main problems with the economy her is jobs. About the only new opportunities are service jobs, especially restaurants and hotels. If you are in that line of work, you will have good opportunities but if you aren't you will struggle financially. There are very few science jobs and the ones that are rarely come open. Accounting jobs are available, but the accounting firms want to pay below average wages, work you to death during tax season and then let you go; that is, if they hire you in the first place. The accounting firms will only hire you if your personality appears to be one that will tolerate that kinds of behavior. If you come across as confident and can think for yourself they will not hire you because they just want drones that don't ask questions and work 18 hours a
