Texas A&M-Galveston Students Relocated to College Station

I agree. Some students live at home with their Galveston Bay area parents, saving 50% of their college costs on the room & board. In future hurricanes these students should be included in the move to College Station with access to dorm rooms & the same ability to continue their semester's studies just like their dorm dwelling peers.

My concern is for the students who have families and homes in the Galveston area. Will housing, food, travel, and child care be taken into consideration? Is it not possible to postpone the semester and freeze tuition that has been paid? If students are unable to commute and it is not practical to take classes and labs online, what is there hope? Lose money? Lose credit?
Freeze the semester. Allow them to take up where they left off when the island is up and running again. Not all college students are single, wealthy, and dorm students.
