I worked all through college....minimum wage type jobs, but jobs nonetheless.
Get a couple of good roommates and college life can be fairly affordable.
“food insecure”
—
The left just never runs out of silly, meaningless terms.
I never considered them privileged. They can work, and if that won’t help them stay in their indoctrination centers, they need to drop out, and get a full time job or live in their parents basement.
I'm a math person - I did the math. If I had 14 meals a week for the semester, I didn't eat 21 meals a week for the first ten weeks and then complain I was hungry for the last five weeks. I ate two meals a day for the entire semester. If I was cooking for myself, I divided the amount of money I had for food by the number of weeks, and that's what I spent each week. Beer money? Only when I had already earned a lot for the year and didn't expect money to be tight the next year. I acted like an adult, not like a perpetual child.
Utterly unbelievable nonsense.
And for the very few who may think they’re trapped in that predicament, they’re obviously not smart enough to be in what passes for ‘college’ these days.
Just a guess that the party money and smartphone w/unlimited data etc might have something to do with the purported situation.
Education cost creep has consequences.
They could easily fire half the administration, lowering tuition and food prices. Do they really need VPs or Deans of Diversity? I used to teach in small colleges that had few administrators. Extra duties were handled by faculty committees.
They can make something out of you and will even feed your skinny a$$.
Tough $hit get a job
They are lying or unable to perform the simplest of financial planning.
When I was at the big U, food was a tiny fraction of the total cost of my higher education. I was never starving hungry (although I did become something of an expert at eating astonishingly cheaply.)
What happened to the Freshman 10 that everyone seemed to get?
Back in my day, longer ago than I care to admit, almost all of the financial aid went to affirmative action students, not to mention the benefit of the doubt where admission to the best schools and programs were concerned. Indeed, on two occasions when I applied for financial aid programs that would have made things easier for me I was told my grades were too high, I spoke English to well, and my skin far too white. Also, my parents were disinclined to assist me as I had a lot of younger siblings but they were considered to have adequate income so I was ineligible for what financial aid there might have been for me. Fortunately, I had an academic scholarship which did cover most of my tuition and I took out some loans but I often went hungry; it was really rough. College was pretty much of a grind for me, although I do have some great memories. I suspect it is even worse for kids today with all of the illegals soaking up even more of limited resources. If these students are the “privileged” whites, than this article is teIling the truth, I think. I suspect these kids are carrying tough majors (as I was) then trying to work full time or near full time is impossible, as attending classes, study, required reading,of reserved books, etc, not to mention 15-30 hours in labs. What were you hard-hearted people, journalism, education, or socialogy majors?
“Nearly a third are hungry and homeless...”
They should learn to hunt...with a cellphone app.
They do these surveys in a way they get the result they want. Everyone is the victim of something. Ask a kid if they are hungry and the answer is almost always yes. I know I was, yet I ate like a horse.
20% of kids are staving and 33% are overweight. Which is it? And we throw away 50% of our food.
Here is a low cost solution. Take the extra food from the fat kids and give it to the skinny ones.
No one can really afford to go to college these days,unless they are awarded a scholarship.Everyone else just takes out loans.

Yeah but their overpaid professors eat grandly. Might be worth it if they taught subjects, instead of indoctrinating their students to become radicals.
A bag of potatoes can make some very filling meals.
My apologies to education majors. That takes a lot of time, I should not lump you in with journalism or sociology majors -o or other such majors that do not require a lot of time and it should be possible to work 20-30 hours a week and still get passing grades.
