Anyone that has a chance for the opportunity of TSU is lucky. When I committed here I had no idea about all the history, after attending my first semester, I definitely had a different look on things. Competing here is something you shouldn't take lightly, the amount of opportunities there are to better yourself after attending this school is something that I guarantee not many schools can say they have.
