In the coming weeks, thousands of college students will walk across a stage and proudly accept their diplomas. Many of them will be hungry.
A senior at Lehman College in the Bronx dreams of starting her day with breakfast. An undergraduate at New York University said he has been so delirious from hunger, he’s caught himself walking down the street not realizing where he’s going. A health sciences student at Stony Brook University on Long Island describes “poverty naps,” where she decides to go to sleep rather than deal with her hunger pangs.
These are all examples of food insecurity, the state of having limited or uncertain access to food. Stories about college hunger have been largely anecdotal, cemented by ramen and macaroni and cheese jokes. But recent data indicate the problem is more serious and widespread, affecting almost half of the student population at community and public colleges.

NYU tuition...$51,828
The world needs ditch diggers too...
They’ve got asses the size of Mack trucks.
Punks.
Uh, no.
I’m skeptical. The left wing media again conspiring to delude the public for a hidden agenda. They probably want taxpayers to foot the bill to pay off these student’s college loans, since the students don’t even have enough money to eat.
Boo Hoo.
I graduated with $7.49 to my name.
Could have eaten for a few days with that, even at todays prices.
Rice, Oatmeal, Grits, tuna fish, Ramen, Raisins, You can make it work
Open the endowments!!!!! Billions!!!
“The world needs ditch diggers too...”
And they’ll come from the “studies” majors - well most. Some, like AOC become democrat politicians - only smarter.
Ramen works. Food bank is free. BTDT...
“student’s college loans”
A lot of times the $$$ go to party time.
Not believing it.
Peanut butter and jelly goes a long way. Hot meal? PB&J on toast.
Or a jam sandwich. Jam two pieces of bread together.
Get a job. My son did while he was in college.
OH, BS. Almost all undergraduate housing, like dorms, fraternities, and sororities includes meals in the price charged.
Buy some baby food. Cheap, nutritious.
dunno. in college, I sometimes chose beer over food.
