\u201cNo, but in my case yes. I struggle to make ends meet and that just means I have to apply for more scholarships and make sure I don\u2019t get in trouble, so I can keep those scholarships. I personally don\u2019t struggle that much but I know a lot of people who do and to them it isn\u2019t really fair.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cIt\u2019s fair in the sense that if you want to get your degree you need to pay it. You go to H.E.B and you get a can of lima beans and they cost 98 cents. Do you want it, or do you not want it? If it\u2019s too expensive you can go to a different store but if you\u2019re there you\u2019re going to pay the 98 cents. You are doing this of your own accord, no one is forcing you and there are many different ways for you to invest in yourself. It has less to do with fairness and more to do with what you\u2019re willing to do and what your options.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cI believe that the process is fair but the timing isn\u2019t. I received a Texas grant but I only got it during this month, so I had it figure out a way to make ends meet while waiting for that. The way they place the ranking and where the money gets distributed is fair but it takes way too long. It takes forever for students to get it and they need that money at that time. So students that earned money through scholarships still have to find ways to get money when they shouldn\u2019t have to.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

\u201cYes. Compared to a lot of other universities, A&M Kingsville does have very affordable tuition. Cost of attendance and housing is a lot better than other universities. Before I actually made the decision to come here I had made a spread sheet of different colleges throughout Texas, and I noticed no matter where I went in Texas, similar categorized schools had a cost that was five to ten thousand dollars more.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
