Does “free college” also mean “free lodging, food, and transportation”?

Community college tuition in many places is insignificant ... but the student needs somewhere to live and eat (mostly at his parents’ house ...).

College kids can get food stamps now even if they are still living with their parents (SNAP - Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program). Also, many campuses provide some free shuttle/bus system, even engaging public transportation in free or nominal fares.

So 1) Live with your parents 2) Get on food stamps 3) Bum a ride close enough to catch the free campus shuttle or just use your student bus card to ride the bus all the way in.
