American Express has revamped its Blue Cash Preferred card. Here's what's new:
College students spend their days lounging on the quad, studying in the library, partying with their friends and, many people likely assume, largely immune from the challenges plaguing those of us in the “real world.”
More than half — 56% — of the survey respondents said they’d experienced housing insecurity in the past year and 17% said they had experienced homelessness in the past year. Now in its fourth year, this year’s survey was the largest yet.Why college students struggle to afford food and housing A combination of factors explain why relatively high levels of college students may struggle to afford their basic needs.
The survey also illustrates the challenges students face affording basic needs even when they work. More than two-thirds of students who experience food and housing insecurity as well as homelessness are employed, the survey found. Sierra, a 21-year-old college student in New York City, has been bouncing between homes for the past few years, including her last two college semesters. Sierra, who grew up in the Bedford-Stuyvesant neighborhood of Brooklyn, has her tuition covered at the New York City College of Technology by state and federal aid. But in order to make enough money to afford food and other basic expenses, she works multiple jobs. Her busy schedule pushed her to drop down from four classes to two this semester.
Measuring hunger and housing insecurity on campus is a relatively new field The Hope Center’s annual findings have been relatively consistent over the last four years, and haven’t changed much based on the number of students surveyed and the mix of colleges in the report. Goldrick-Rab noted that although the Hope Center’s findings have been relatively consistent, although there is some variation in levels of food and housing insecurity among them. In addition, she acknowledges that the survey’s response rate is “abysmally low” at 5.8%.
