Joseph from Spring, TX
I just completed 3 classes and will attend 6 more with my fafsa and i will have a refund back to keep for myself yet to help me with living expenses. In total, this year took a fouth of my financial aid , i had an EFC of 0 so you do get more bang for your buck. But dont stop trying to get scholerships, they will help you alot. With tuition, you get acces to the gym thats open during college hours, the student center where you can lounge and play pool and outher activitys, and professional's help for you classes at no cost to you.
Alex from Houston, TX
It is VERY affordable to attend Lone Star. The financial aid that is available to veterans and students with hardships is varied and thorough and the scholarships offered to students who excel in classes are phenomenal. I truly feel like I am getting an equally good education as my friends at state schools for a fraction of what they're paying.
Katherine from Spring, TX
Full-college learning for a much reduced price.
Chance from Spring, TX
With all of the resources at your fingertips, such as tutors, labs, and online classrooms, it is definitely more than worth the cost. It is a great quality education at a fraction of the cost of a university.
Kelley from Houston, TX
The price is great if your trying to save money or want to take cheaper classes outside of a big university.
Nastassia from Humble, TX
The tutiton is very low. Lower than other universitys. Still its a good price to just get an associates degree.
Ellen from Tomball, TX
They offer a large variety of financial aid for students that are not able to afford going to school. As long as you have a proof of identity then it is not that hard to obtain!
