From time-to-time students who are accepted into a college or university will scam the institution by moving into a dorm and getting on a meal plan and actually attend classes for a few weeks with the promise that the student loan funds will arrive shortly. The funds are non-existant and the “student” gets freebies for several weeks and then the next quarter or semester starts it all over at another college.
There was a TV show similar to that back in the late 60’s or very early 70’s........I forget what the title was...........
