1 in 5 college students at Humboldt State University in California are homeless. It's among the worst-affected public colleges in a nationwide crisis. This is what they face every day.
Jasmine is a 23-year-old kinesiology major at Humboldt. She's been living homeless amongst her peers for a year and is open with friends about it to learn who is going through something similar. She has a full ride academic scholarship. She carries what would be her bedroom closet in a shoulder bag.
California's unaffordable housing crisis and the rising cost of college are putting students in a rough spot. An estimated 50,000 students in the California State University system are experiencing homelessness.
Nolan is a junior at Humboldt state studying geology but you'd never know that he's homeless. Nolan lives out of his car. According to Jasmine, 3 or 4 students can be seen sleeping in their cars in the parking lot overnight.
Chante Catt, off-campus housing liaison at HSU, blames the local student homelessness on the housing stock, Airbnb, and the policies and practices of the property managers in the area. Nolan and Jasmine have avoided taking out students loans to pay for housing because of the future financial burden.

it's like they're being punished for getting an education.
Exactly one big joke...
I know what is worse is that i have a friend that went for attourney and us still homeless and in debt
im plagued by student loan debt i have to pay for right now, im questioning myself is it really worth it getting education since i', only manage to land a work as cashier and fast food..... its been many years like this, i dont see future but debt
They are being punished. Student loans are no joke. You'd either succeed or become poorer than you were before. At least before you had no debt.
Really weird, I can't believe it
slept under a bridge for 4 months last year while attending college. never gave up and now im 1 year away from a bachelor degree.
symbolic503 that’s humbling, stay strong 💪🏽
👏👏👏🐐!
That’s so cool
Stay strong, you got this
You still sleeping under the bridge?
I went through this as well last semester at CU Boulder, where a housing crisis is occurring as well. Luckily I had a kind, caring friend who let me crash on her couch for a bit so I wasn’t sleeping in my car. What’s not mentioned in this video is how incredibly hard it is to complete schoolwork and focus on academic success when your basic needs aren’t being met. It’s depressing that when those of us without generational wealth try and get an education to set us up for a better future, we are met with these incredibly hard obstacles that many of our peers do not even have to think about. College should not just be for the wealthy, or even just for the middle class. We all deserve an equal opportunity to access education and housing.
Hey, I’m also currently attending CU boulder. I’m in the dorms now, but won’t be come next fall semester. Does the school provide housing help/services (for both on and off campus)?
What middle class ? Virtually gone thanks to capitalists 😂
And this is exactly how the rich stay rich and the poor stay poor because we don’t have funds or can’t get any to get us ahead like those who have parents that will pay for them to have a good future and majority or those that get that silver spoon take it for granted because they know mummy and daddy will come to the rescue 💵
I do take my hat off to those who study hard and do everything they can to get by, I honestly applaud them!! 👏
@@bandit019patton3 yes there is a housing offices and basic needs program that helped me a LOT. They’re in the C4C I believe? If you ask one of your professors they’ll give you info, I don’t remember all the details :)
Something I’m proud of with my university is when one of our dorms blew up over the summer and students didn’t know where to stay for the fall semester they literally rented out 2 entire hotels for students to stay at as the dorm was being rebuilt
I'm sorry but I rather look at a dog's excrement than at you
UNR?
W university. Also more of an affordability issue here not space in most cases. Government only gives out 5500 a year off fasfa now so students who can’t qualify for further loans (I.e. parents having bad credit and not helping out financially) become homeless or are forced to dropout
Virginia Tech
Probably wasn’t the university though, it was the university’s insurance who paid for the hotel.
The worst part of it all is that once they do get that degree, the real struggle to find a job in their field begins.
It truly is a struggle, i am beginning to think college is a scam. You pay to get an education go in debt and with no experience no one will hire you.
At least they already have life experience. Dont worry they will survive. Degree maybe just backup or another plan of choices.
@@pmerancier I agree, I think conventional college is a huge rip off. I chose to go to a trade school. Got all my education, my degree, and they helped me get my job.
Yes indeed
Most colleges offer internship positions at state and private level.

The American Dream is dead. It probably isn't even alive to begin with. The truth is you got to wake up and face reality, only then can you realized your plans and goals. Lol stop dreaming and start doing.
U right.

@@touxiong519 This. People just expect to receive all the things they want on their laps. Truth is you gotta work hard for it and there will be sacrifices.

Dude shut the fuck up this happened literally everywhere when you don't have a job and aren't handicapped or a single parent
I hope they all graduated and became super successful in the field of study they were pursuing. Mad respect to the fighters featured in this video and anyone who was and is going to college without a home. I truly hope that you guys are doing amazing!
All this for a BA that will earn them less than a trade skill.
@@MeLlamoBradly Not necessarily, but it depends what trade skill and BA you're considering for comparision.
@@Gvistic pretty sure he's talking 95% of the worthless BA's.. Where 1% of these fools will end up working in the field of their study.
I graduated from Humboldt state with general biology and botany degrees. My senior year I lived on campus in my vanagon. I was rousted by the campus police every night until I was told I couldn't park on campus overnight anymore regardless of my parking pass. I noticed a few others sleeping in cars and using the gym facilities but I was literally the only one who got kicked out at night. Now I'm watching a documentary made a few years after I pioneered the legality of this issue on this campus. It's crazy but I'm proud and manage a badass lab now
Seeing this makes me mad about the rich people who bribed officials to get their kids into good colleges
Wrong targets lol.

Slept on an abandoned building 1.5 kms away from school. I was the only homeless person in my university so they don't even know i was homeless. I graduated 4 yrs ago and now I can afford a three-bedroom apartment all by myself and my dogs. Never give up on your dreams.
Gosh, you're a real warrior
Bless you

Really inspiring man, I continue wishing the best for you!
I remember when I went to college it was absolute culture shock. I worked full time and went to school full time to support myself. I literally would get off work, then go to school, get home and study until 3-4am and get up at 7am the next day.
I was lucky that my rent was around $1,000 but now rent for a studio apartment has sky rocketed so much that it's insane.
There are those college kids who are lucky and get everything paid for by their parents, but for the ones that struggle and want to go to the school they love and the major they want to grow and change the world in, my hearts out to those kids.
Hey, I know this is pretty late, but are you going to school full time?
we need big money/companies to not be able to buy single-family homes. Honestly, there should be regulation over this, its just disgusting. Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.
I keep wondering how people earn money in financial markets, i tried trading bitcoin on my own made a huge loss and now I'm scared of investing more.
@@bjoe631 That won't bother you if you trade with a professional like *Mr Gary Mason Brooks* my coach, you may have come across him on interviews relating to bitcoin and stocks. He trades, manage trading account and offer mentorship program for clients who wish to become professional investors.
@@BeverlyTalley You allow people to trade for you? that's interesting, I would love to learn, hope it’s safe?
@@thirtyonesolid Well this not my first time of seeing this name on social platform. A CNBC news host spoke highly of this man and his trading strategies. Do you know him ? if yes , did you invest with him?
@@bjoe631 It's 100% safe and legal, He’s an expert trader on stocks and bitcoin. I basically do nothing but collect profits, he was able to get me in early on most of these stocks and I exited just at the right time, his analysis was really on point..

Free food and a room to stay is what the criminals in jails get... and nothing for this teenagers? Really?
it's their choice, no one is forcing them to do this. College is a scam anyways
@@topgun213 Are you serious?! It's because they have no other choice that's why they're homeless. No one chooses to be homeless! You sound like a heartless, evil, person with no compassion, it's people like you that are the problem!
@@dazza8551 they do have a choice, why are you being so extreme, you don't even know me. These are healthy, able-bodied people who are perfectly capable of working and/or can get loans if they desire for their CHOICE of going to college. I just pray they are at least getting good degrees that will pay them well in the future.
@@topgun213 do you realize that they chose to go to uni and live like this because it's almost impossible to find a job without a degree?? I'm pretty sure the guy mentioned that he wants to work hard to be hireable??
@@topgun213 so fuck students who are studying to run the country for us, ig. Yeah, college is a choice, but our society needs lawyers, engineers, physicists, etc. But we can't even afford to house the ones studying for that shit when you could get caught selling drugs and get shelter, food, and even education sometimes for free. That's the point. Yeah they can drop out but then who the fuck is going to keep our progression? This doesn't undermine the fact that innocent young adults who are studying important things are being ignored while prisoners are prioritized
I had to go through this at 23 years old as well and I can attest that It’s a hard mental battle. Especially being a veteran, I had no one to call on and was starving myself for days. I remember selling my phone to the ecoatm for food money. Im 25 now and I make about 70k a year. Life gets better, some of us just have to start from the bottom
Veterans get so many benefits that you shouldn't have had that hard of a time. Unless you got kicked out.
The bottom shouldn’t be homelessness though..
@@cremepuffle What should it be? Everyone gets a home for free to start with? While it sucks, how do you propose to house everyone? *Edit I do think room and board should be included with the ridiculous tuitions that colleges charge. Also, tuition should be drastically decreased.
You’re definitely not a veteran my guy. I served in the Air Force and got stationed in Hawaii, with almost 30k in savings, a brand new car and blessed with the G.I. bill. When I’m out the military-I’ll go to UC Berkeley, fully paid by Uncle Sam and earning almost $10,000 in BAH and veteran benefits, unemployment, disability for 3 years and beyond that I will fully pocket-NON TAXABLE. Military was a blessing in disguise…

This was 4 years ago and pre-COVID.
Who knows for sure how many more kids are in this situation now.
Each damned day it gets worse out there and new stories on how people, of all ages, are trying their best to survive.
*_"They don't know how many students apply for housing assistance"_*
That's a problem
They don’t know? Or is it ‘they don’t care to know...’
@@jenlinds1 I commented this a second ago, but when they say that "We need students to exhaust their financial resources" before applying basically sounds like them saying "We need them to go as deep into debt as possible before we can assist them...". Absolutely disgusting.

And now returning students have no access to safe and accessible housing since the school is forcing them to live in motels off campus. On top of that, as of right now, 2,000+ students will need housing next semester and there’s only 300 hotel rooms available. It’s next to impossible to rent an apartment now, so I have no idea what’s going to happen. This is insane.
As a Dutch person I truly can’t fathom this is happening in the United States 😣 I feel so bad for these kids being denied a basic human right: a home.
This isn't really in the USA it's in Kalifornia, the single most f'd up state in the USA

@@winter7091 Oh no helping less fortunate people? How terrible! Totally not Christian, Jesus would never have done something like that, no sir.
The sad reality of the usa...
And baby boomers will still tell you you're complaining too much and it's YOUR fault that you're homeless. Totally not the overpriced living expenses.
Well, of course. Baby Boomers were handed all their spoils off the backs of their parents in the aftermath of WW2. They then started more wars to no same effect, so now it's just easier to just blame the next generation for not pillaging enough.
It's funny how they say that yet when they were younger, there wasn't as much inflation as there is now..
many of them were probably able to get themselves through college having jobs like dishwashing
Not even just that, but all state colleges were federally funded back then. They were called Land Grant Universities for a reason, and Federal subsidies made it possible for colleges students to work a crappy job and still pay for tuition and a place to live.
Even without the housing problem, inflation, and other economic woes, education coffers have been starved for decades. None of this is a surprise or coincidence; it's the result of corporate greed eating our democracy and bad policy.
I don't think I know anyone who got out of college with a debt as low as $16,000. That woman is lucky.
I was homeless in college, too, but it's a choice to focus more on studying than working. Creature comforts were worth less than getting through quicker to me. The baby boomers are right. You're wrong.
Currently attending the school, and a part of Student Government. This is still happening, the college is evicting students to make room for freshmen and transfer students. Students cannot get housing and even if they have the money, finding a place is insanely difficult. I've applied to 7 places in total that I can afford, yet still, no one is accepting students for housing. Can't believe this university is doing this... (February 7 , 2023)
The students are truly admirable for overcoming these obstacles and creating their own ecosystem. As a California native living in the San Francisco Bay area, I’ve given up on going to school. Too many of my friends owe thousands of dollars in debt and some of them can’t even find jobs. Those who can’t find jobs with bachelors, end up going back to school because it’s their only option but in the process they rack up more debt. At this point in life I am thoroughly convinced it’s not what you know, but who you know.
I never went to college , I don't know anyone with pull . But I make more by my wits than most people with a BA degree.
Its what I know that does it.

Jermaine Latimer stop it. This isn’t about me. Here’s the thing... if you’re struggling financially, a job would work wonders in helping you. That simple.
I was a homeless university student for a short period of time, sleeping in classrooms, working 2 jobs, trying to keep up with school work. I absolutely don't know how these students do it long term. Psychology clearly shows when a person doesn't have the basic fundamental needs of food/home then it's nearly impossible to find the drive to structure success for yourself
its a sacrifice. that guy that said you’re my first guest and just wanted to be a well rounded person. that there just tells you how much self control and patience this man has. very respectable✨
thats priceless to find now
Anyone can get student loans to cover housing and tuition. Don't know how they got homeless since the government gives anyone student loans for a max of 6 years - you can't go bankrupt on the loans and they go to your next of kin when you die. A lot of people play the college system (grants, Cal Fresh, scholarships, being an RA).
These students are insanely admirable, but they shouldn’t have to go through this.
This is America.
Yes they should, maybe they should've made better choices who the fuck goes to school in california anyways.
@KC are you sure they get paid?

These are the type of students that deserves a successful life ahead.
Pretty sure everyone deserves that. We need to get past the fuedalist mentality you have.
So by your logic a person has to be in near death poverty to succeed in life.
No student "deserves" a successful life. If you are forcing yourself to go through schooling, while at the same time living in extreme poverty conditions, then maybe you shouldn't be in school. The idea of "Im going to accumulate tonnes of debt in loans just to get a degree" (that will most likely be useless or second class to just an internship) is a broken idea in the modern world, especially when small business is on the rise.

@Manuel Castro True. Thats why you can't trust the "science" they made....
I was homeless in college with an abusive family. When I tried getting help, people laughed at me. I listened to well off kids make fun of "dirty homeless people". All the homeless women I met hid it from people.
I went through the same thing. But I learned how to hide it to the point where they wouldn't believe I'm homeless if I said I was
Peachkind Im so sorry you went through that. I wish you the best
I’d actually conversed with people who would complain about “those dirty homeless” to me and then be set back when I told them I was one of them. Like they had no idea they were just bashing me to my face without even realizing it.. it’s weird how privileged people have this idea of homeless people being dressed in tattered rags and covered in dirt. At the time, I looked like any other early 20’s housie.
I mean there is different types of homeless. I’m sure they were mostly referring to crack heads, but if the shoe fits wear it.
Hey, I’m in college still living at home with a problematic family. You have real courage to live like that. It’s a small price to pay to be free from the control and manipulation of abusers...In the long run, I think you’ll see it was worth it...and you’ll know much more about survival than the average person. I would be proud of myself if I were you. And fuck the well-off kids, they can’t even wipe their asses by themselves.
I suddenly felt very privileged after watching this. We grew up with my mom having to borrow money, pawning her belongings, and working multiple jobs just to send us to a good school. She didn't want us working even part-time in college so we could focus on our studies. I feel so bad about these students who have no one else to rely on and just make do with what they have. I don't want to romanticize their resiliency because the government should be doing more to protect and support these students but they're admirable and I hope for the best for them.
Please do a current one for right now. Currently no returning students will be able to get on campus housing. We are being based in comfort inns, motel 6, super 8, and possibly a former prison barge. We need help

Naughty B how are you going to manage to find a way to bring immigrant children into this? completely uncalled for and unrelated. i receive ‘free’ lunches in school and i’m not an immigrant. so your statement is false and flat out ignorant for starters. ‘free’ lunches are assigned to children whose homes don’t have enough income to provide them food at lunch. if your household income falls below a certain amount you receive extra help, as you rightfully should-seeing as being a child you cannot help your own self.
@@itbelikethat- your the type of kid i sold weed to and would charge a shit ton. Just because you seem like a dick.
Rather than pity, I feel a lot of respect and admiration for these students .
No offense but these 2 kids chose the worst majors possible. Let's take a look at the Geology kid. Imagine how tight his budget must be with $5~70000/year pay with $60,000-100,000 debt looming over his head. It would take him at least 5-7 years to pay for all his debt and that would be an extremely lucky case. After paying his debt off, he is got house/living cost to worry about. Would he have saved the money up to get himself a place to live by then? Or would he have to spend another decade just to come up with it? If he was to go down the path of student debt, he should have chosen a major that would land him on 6 figure job. Choosing your dream is one thing, but you can't be too stupid to be ignorant the obvious outcome.
@@choo1030 dude, you dont go to school chasing a fad but a dream.
Steven Choo your major doesnt guarantee anything. i know people with “useless” degrees making a quarter million a year and i know people with phds doing minimum wage jobs. no path is clear cut. also, average geologist salary is in the six figures. 5-7 years to pay off student loans isn’t bad.
I feel so embarrassed my mom and I had a conversation telling her I want to have my own room I want my brother to get out of the room I am sharing with him because I want privacy and both of us are maturing but when I saw this video I guess what should I do is to thank what I have and give respect to my parents decision as we are not rich.
This video made me realize something worthy tonight.
@@bmmj5694 I don't think there's anything wrong with wanting privacy. But I'm happy you came to terms with sharing a room with your brother.
This happened to my boyfriend. It was senior year and he got Covid. His roommates kicked him out of their apartment and he lived in his mini van, showered at the gym, and spent his days in the library. He said people would avoid him because he didn’t realize how smelly he would get (Covid temporarily ruined his smell). It breaks my heart that he did that but he’s so proud that he got through school and graduated.
A lot of respect to these kids. They are so mature that their age.
I wish them the brightest future. This is so wrong and sad.
Aria Phalco really?
@@Hagser really what?
They could get a part-time or even a full-time (gasp) job while going to college. Plenty of students actually HAVE to work during college. Some people have to work AND take care of their kids. I have no sympathy for them. They're choosing to live this way. They can choose not to if they want. And they certainly still have it better than real homeless people- this is all temporary for them.
David S choose??? In what world
The average cost of college there is “In-state 7,195 USD, Out-of-state 18,364 USD” and assuming they’re instate but don’t have family to take them in housing is an additional “$6,136 for housing and $6,446 for the meal plan.” PLUS The extra 1200 the college board says students spend on average for textbooks and other needed materials
Add all this to together and you’ve got at LEAST $20977 that’s not even including necessities like toiletries
NOW
Let’s look at the average salary for a part time job in CA using someone working 30 hours a week they’d make a whooping 15840
However if for some reason they got hired for a full time job (in college??? Unrealistic but ok) working 40 hours they’d make 21120
Accounting for social security with a 2 week paycheck you’d make the incredibly large amount of 19810 which is over a thousand dollars less then your lovely IDEAL sum of $20977
Now tell me again how they CHOOSE to be homeless
Pablo Escobar in this economy? The majority of jobs that will support you require a college degree which you can’t exactly “save up for” it’s not a simple thing.
There’s few jobs that pay relatively ok without experience but even then you have to have a specialized sort of talent that not everyone is capable of possessing.
Don’t be unrealistic college is there for a reason if it was realistic for the average to get a decent job without going there I guarantee you these people wouldn’t be sleeping in there cars and others wouldn’t put themselves hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt
They all seem like good kids. I wish them all the best.
They're resourceful, positive and clearly great problem solvers, companies will love them. Hopefully they keep safe while they study
Yes, they all are focused on graduating and getting jobs... wish them luck, and good opportunities in life.

So many of my friends go to college because they get higher pay with a degree, and all of them are buried with debt that they will have to pay back in the next 10-20 years.

LOWER !!! COLLEGE!!! TUITION!!!!!
Not gonna happen. The more the government gets involved the more tuition will increase
tuition was less than $3000 per year with scholarships. However, because of food, housing and other fees cost of attendance was more than $22,000 per year.
From one of the comment.
You need the government to stop handing out so many loans.
Our parents paid just a few hundred dollars a semester for college.

I lived in my car for 5 years to get through school, after being homeless off and on for 10 years. It was literally was the only way to get to a better life for me. My income quadrupled after I got my degree and im 35 now and its literally the first time in my life I have ever had my own apartment to live in.
Crazy that student life can change drastically within 9 years. Went to Humboldt freshman year lived on campus. Met my best friend. Graduated from SFSU class of 2017 🎓
I went to Humboldt too. This wasn't really an issue when I was there, and if anyone was homeless, it was likely a side effect of their lifestyle.
But, you know... "Millenials have it easy".

I got to hand it these kids for not taking out loans for housing. they're willing to tough it out for a couple of years than be stuck with predatory debt for *many, many* years.
@Sweetbutterflykripperino It STILL is " roughing it " just a different strategy, some will pick up a job while others cut on expenses like housing. The best way to maximize is doing both in my opinion, lol.
@@Tarantula_Fangs I am curious though, isn't it where the more you make the less in aid you get?
@@xo7499 yes but it's based on your parents income, mostly.
As some one who's done all of the above, working while going to school is extremely hard and draining. If I wasn't working, I was at school, or doing school work.
I also took out loans (against my desires, because my parents made too much money that year for me to qualify for grants) to pay for housing, but it was off campus because it saved me $100/mo. It wasn't enough money for anything else so I was literally starving everyday, didn't have enough money for gas so I was house bound, and the housing was a run down house in the hood, and I lived with about 6 other students. No heat or air on my level so winter's were brutal. I had to get used to using two squares of toilet paper when I peed and just wash the pee off my hands hahaha!
In the beginning, I took out no loans, and didn't get a job, so I lived with my parents and commuted 1 hr everyday to and from school. It ran my car down, and I was so tired I fell asleep in almost every class.
Long story short, college did a number on me and after a couple of years in I dropped out because my mental health and financial situation took a turn for the worse. I walked away with no hair (because I cut it all off), 100 pounds heavier, $10,000 of debt, (now creeping towards $12,000), and suicidal depression. The good thing is I found out i have ADHD. and all this shit for an incomplete BA in visual communications (similar to graphic design) 😃
This isn't even the worse of what I went through, but I think you all can get the idea.
@Ben Jay I know there are people that rent out, rooms, living rooms, garages, etc.. for dirt cheap.
I graduated from Humboldt State ( now called Cal Poly Humboldt) in 1992. I went there for the education, location, cheap tuition and low cost of living for the area. I was lucky to graduate debt free and the following year was when everything get jacked up and continues to this day.. While the costs have skyrocketed, the level of education continues to decline. I worry about what will happen when my teenage boys reach their college years. I hope I can afford to assist them because I don't want them to have to go through the same experiences as the kids in this video... Good luck. I admire your tenacity. It will serve you well in life.
I attended college during the fall to spring semester of 2019/2020 in the city of North Bay in Ontario, Canada. I didn’t have the funds to rent so a spent the semester in an RV, average winter temperatures were -14 ºC/6.8 ºF and the coldest night was -35.7 °C/-32.3 ºF in February. I had rigged the RV up with a wood stove which was my only saving grace from the cold but I didn’t have much firewood saved because of poor planning on my part. I had to search the nearby forest by the college for extra wood during downtime when I wasn’t studying or doing homework.
It was a challenge and I often doubted that I would last, I even worried that I might freeze to death. I stayed persistent and tried to keep focused despite my anxieties and worries over my living accommodations and what the future might bring. I’m glad to say that despite everything I was able to earn a scholarship during the first half of my semester for academic excellence and managed to graduate from the course with a 3.7 GPA.
Respect to anyone who has had to find and utilize alternative living methods while trying to make a better future for themselves.

Mad respect for this young folks. They had a problem and found a solution, they chose not to be victims and set themselves up for success. The system has failed them but they chose not to fail themselves.
Logan Vega yeah. I truly respect them. They are pulling themselves up and working to succeed. Anything they get, they deserve.
if you do not go to college, YOU HAVE NOT FAILED ! being homeless for the pursuit of a degree that may or may not benefit you is NOT a smart decision. the debt that follows them will follow them for the rest of their lives
Honestly they should just drop out of college, staying in college unless you are gifted by being extremely smart, is fucking stupid.
I'm willing to bet that many of the autoworkers in my state who did NOT go to college are kicking themselves right now. They are being let go in huge numbers, average in middle age, and have no other skills other than the manual labor they've been doing without a college degree. Not saying they failed, just saying school will definitely help them.

how about? build a dormitory instead of a stadium
Calvin Bottoms YES!!!!! schools spend like 60 million dollars on stadiums when that could set so many kids up for a good education
@@megan-io7sq humboldt has a small stadium that did not cost nearly that much money. the main problem is the homeowners in the area charging unnecessary prices because people are desperate.
They're also in a budget shortfall and don't actually have a football team anymore as a result. They've been in talks to build new dormitories as well.
The thing about that is, college football generates money, so there's more financial incentive to build a stadium vs free dorm rooms
Well they’re gonna probably take down the stadium cause the football team doesn’t have enough funds

These college kids are smart. They dont want to take a loan. Well done!
Matos Alvarado no they aren’t if they were smart they would have gone to a community college and saved up money to be able to afford housing when picking the university you wanna go to you also look at if you can afford it why put yourself in debt when it’s not even guaranteed that you get a job in the field you are studying I understand that it’s their dream but with the first girl she’s on a full ride so there’s no debt when she graduates why not get a loan for the housing which will be a much smaller loan that it would be for tuition and she’d probably not even end up with debt after graduation if she just worked while she studied I’m from Texas and i know the cost of living doesn’t compare to what it is in California but I’m still able to go to college full time and keep a job at a warehouse at night it also helps if you have roommates. Not everything has to be made worse than what it is. And I honestly don’t care about what y’all are going to reply because it will consist of,” well that’s in Texas, you probably live at home, you don’t know their lives, what if they are working and it’s still not enough, what if they did go to community college”
Quique Sanchez my community college tuition is $6,000 a year. I can’t afford that and neither can my parents, so I have to take out loans. Just because you have it easy doesn’t mean that everyone else will/does. Working while studying is extremely difficult, especially when most places would rather have you focus on the job rather than your education. By the time I’m finished with my work, I’m exhausted and tired and have no motivation to do any of my schoolwork, and I work 16 hours a week. So please don’t just comment shit like this and be like,”well it would’ve been easier if XYZ”. I have a feeling you’re not actually even in college because you clearly don’t know how any of it works
Shit thats the one reason why i chose to get a trade degree instead of going to college. I dident want to be in dete for the rest of my life
Quique Sanchez get a life
Quique Sanchez thats what ima do honestly why go to a university just to show off to your family when in reality you’re still going into your depth. I prefer to go to community first to save money then transfer 2 years after because the first 2 years you don’t even start your major right away
