I just don't understand why people choose Wentworth rather than a college in Texas even though a Texas college is much better

No. Trust me, University of Houston is much better. Even better than WPI which is better than Wentworth, which is worth 0.
Better starting salaries, cheaper tuition, more prestige, higher graduation rate, more diversity, better in engineering, and lower cost of living in Houston.
In Boston, you pay 800 thousand for a 2 bedroom. In Texas, you pay 500 thousand for a 3000 sqft mansion.

Texas is better than Massachusetts. Trust me, I live in the best town in Massachusetts (Holden), and it still sucks compared to Texas.
Boston, Cambridge, Somerville, Brookline (where my son loves) all suck compared to Worcester and Worcester is far worse than Holden or Sterling.
