Yulia Makarova
Master’s in Fine Arts,
Russia At Texas Tech, the
small size of the degree
program, access to faculty
who are the leaders in
their fields and a diverse
student body will help me
sharpen my skills as an
artist and provide me with
a professional network after graduation. The studio work
has been intellectually challenging.
Kelvin Lee
Bachelor’s in
Environmental
Engineering, Hong Kong
My life at Texas Tech is
probably the best time of
my life. I came here all by
myself, but I was able to
make so many friends.
They are interested
in where I am from and we always share our cultural
experiences.
There is a strong sense of community here, and I find the
academic environment very supportive. Some
of my peers have become good friends. It’s the people
I’ve met here who will stand out in my memories of
Texas Tech.
Environmental Engineering is tough, but you are not
alone. Texas Tech has a very strong atmosphere that all
peers are striving for honor and will help each other out.

Jovita Lektzian
Bachelor’s in Apparel
Design, Lithuania The
professionalism and
friendliness of all of my
professors are at the
highest level. I really love
being part of the Red
Raider family and feel
like my professors are
committed to helping me learn and succeed. They are
so knowledgeable and caring that they have made my
learning experience joyful and educational.
Having the opportunity to work closely with my professors
as a student assistant and going to conferences is
something I will always remember.

Bachelor’s in Cell &
Molecular Biology,
Tajikistan My goal is to

diabetes, Alzheimer’s and

It’s easier because of the close-knit relationships with
the most erudite professors who care about students.
They are also adept researchers who give international
students opportunities to be involved in world-class
research.
