Twenty-four years old, the mother of two small daughters, and in the process of getting a divorce. Not surprisingly, she was broke. "I had always wanted to go to college," Robin remembers. "I thought it was unlikely I could ever go - I had no resources available to me. But I happened to have a good friend who kept telling me to go into the financial aid office and see what they could do." Reluctant at first, Robin finally visited the office in 1980 and , to her pleasant surprise, found that through a combination of assistance programs - grants, loans and work study - she would be able to enroll at Portland State as an undergraduate. "I moved into PSU student housing which allows children," she says. " I sold my car and my appliances to do it. I had no transportation so that ruled out transportation costs . After Since Sputnik was launched, the federal government six months I was able to leave my children at the (Helen Gordon) child has made college accessible to nearly anyone with the care center, which reduced my child desire and ability to attend. But rising costs and care expenses." possible cutbacks in financi.al aid may limit the choices. Her grades were sporadic during the first year of adjustment, Robin remembers, but then " things stabilized. " By the time she earned Portland State serves a unique GPA of the student body at large.
