Undocumented students rethink their college dreams after Texas cuts their access to cheaper tuition

Jorge's parents brought him to the U.S. from Mexico when he was 1 year old. Now 21, he had planned on transferring from Austin Community College to Texas State University to study mechanical engineering, but he may not be able to afford it after Texas agreed last week to stop offering in-state college tuition rates to undocumented students living in the state. The end of the policy has thrown the education plans of thousands of students like him into disarray. (Credit: Sergio Flores for The Texas Tribune)

Even though Jorge and his younger sister are only two years apart in age, their college experiences are headed in different directions.
