I
knew campus life is tough for many students, include me when I was in
college. In respect to money, I depend very much on a tiny
scholarship and parents.
What
surprise me, the fact even worse in American colleges in recent days.
Percentage
of students faces with food insecurity is quite higher at both two
and four year colleges across America:
-
25% of two years college
-
20% of four years college
Hence,
1 in 4 or 1 in 5 of college students are hungry. In term of number
that million of students don’t have money to buy meal to consume.
For
comparison that 13% of American
experiences with hungry on daily live. Homeless
is the worst.
In
extreme conditions, portion of students even skip from eating for
some times because of hard financial situation.

There
are plenty reasons lead to food insecurity for college students, few
are:
-
spending on high cost of colleges (tuition, books and other relate
costs)
-
difficult to find part time jobs for no extra money.
-
financial
aids, and even student loans are not enough to cover relate costs to
higher education.
This
issue might lead to students difficulty to pursue their degree, and
even they
tend to drop
out the school.
Hope,
relevant agencies and legislators (federal and state levels), and
even schools to find ways to reduce hungry in the colleges.
Thanks for sharing this information. It does make it hard for a student on a tight budget to have access to healthy food. No one should have to go hungry.

When I saw the title of this post, I thought it was going to be about college kids not liking dining hall food. When I realized it was about college kids not being able to afford food, I thought, now, that's a real problem. College is hard enough without having to worry about where your next meal is coming from. As you say, I hope someone finds a solution.
ReplyDeleteI see... yes, it should be solved.

That is so sad. A wholesome meal every day is important for our wellbeing.
ReplyDeleteThe government should do something about that.
I agree with you....

I think this sad situation is common in colleges in other countries too. If the students have to worry about their finances and meals, they won't be able to concentrate nor do well in their studies.
ReplyDeleteYou are right...

Study on an empty stomach is definitely not productive and very unhealthy too.
