Why They Chose Texas Tech

He chose to pursue his education at Texas Tech because it felt like the place where he belongs the most. Being from Lubbock,Tech was always one of his top options but when it became time to decide he had to chose what he wanted the most out of a college. He ended up picking Tech because it felt like a place where he could become the best version of himself. Another reason he chose Tech is because everyone that he knew went here had a love for the University that he could not find anywhere else.
