FRESH face

Meet Sarah Chollar
major: undeclared
hometown: Comfort, Texas

Do you like Lubbock?
It's a lot different from Comfort. "It still has a small-town feel, but it's just bigger. That's why I love it." This community loves college students, which makes the transition a lot easier.

Why did you choose to come to Texas Tech?
Two of my siblings went to Tech, so I was already familiar with the campus and I knew I'd love the people here. "They're all really happy I'm here. They call me at least once a week to make sure I'm enjoying it."

What did you think about IS1100?
It was a lot of fun. "It helped me focus, I guess, really actually understand what I'm here for."

Any advice for other freshman?
"Stay really busy. If you're busy, you don't get homesick."
