Kumawat is determined to assist her community members. “[FGLI students] don’t expect … to [buy] $100 books. … You need to be used to staying away from your family and [build] … a community here.” Kumawat said “What else? Genuinely knowing how college works [is difficult], because our parents don’t know, [for example,] how many credits we have to take.” With FGLI students lacking familiarity with the college system and stable financial resources, every expense and decision is made alone.
