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?
“Nearly a third are hungry and homeless...”
They should learn to hunt...with a cellphone app.
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.
They chose poorly.
My son will graduate at the end of this spring term. The last two years he worked in the cafeteria on campus...
What BS. I’d love to see what definition they are using for “homeless”
Maybe they should stop spending their student loans on Spring Break.
Furthermore, the processed food handed out at food pantries is incredibly unhealthy, so they’re probably contributing to the obesity epidemic.
Students prefer to spend their money on beer rather than on food.
The irony is thick there. Maybe they should have taken vocational tech classes and gotten jobs and saved for college. But, the high schools push everybody into college prep now.
This is the second such story in a week about how the snowflakes are starving.
