As a student, affording tuition, food, commuting, social activities and housing can be such a burden. And if you're a full-time student, that work-life balance almost seems impossible at times. But the truth is, the bills don’t pay themselves, as much as we would like them to, so we have to find a way to work around it. For this episode, we turned the mic back to you to find out what your experiences have been applying for awards and scholarships, and what your advice is to other students for saving and managing your money. Tune in to hear what your fellow GBC students have to say about keeping things affordable this semester.
