"unless you are married, have a family, or have any other pressing reason to remain in lubbock for all four years, you can be sure that you will be moving to either el paso or amarillo for years 3 and 4. if you are single and are not prepared to move out of lubbock after 2 years then you should consider this before making your decision to go there" Report Response
