it is an actual choice between studying and working for money. Taking 15+ credits with an engineering workload is easily 60+ hours a week in studying. Anyone who disagrees has never gone through it.
This couldn't be more accurate I often choose study and homework over food. Mechanical Engineering major.

I find it absolutely absurd when Americans whine about poverty and starvation. Very few American know real poverty and starvation relative to the rest of the world.
Know someone who picked up a person from India for an assignment in the US. Asked the Indian (dot, not woohoo) what they were most interested in seeing in America. His reply "fat poor people". He apparently couldn't fathom how you could be both fat and poor.

I was food insecure in college... Because I spent all my money on booze and smokes instead of food 
I don't think this is anybody's else's fault though

80% can afford an IPhone but 48% can't afford food. Sounds like this generation to me.

They should probably quit school and look for work then.

That's bullshite. They pay for a meal plan when they enroll for college
That's not necessarily true. You can live off campus and not have a meal plan.

Looks like my college diet. Add ramen and Mac & cheese.
I'd never consider that "going hungry"

I ate Ramen, drank water, and was hungry a lot in college and grad school. There was something called, "the poor college student" that I was and understood. I went to school, worked, and was poor as dirt. It did not affect me at all.
Cereal, Ramen, scramble some eggs, save your money to go out with friends once in a while, study, work, repeat. Now, we are supposed to worry that college students are poor? I thought it was part of the sacrifice?

That 15 hours number is crap for Engineering majors. I can't count how many of my classes were 3 hour "labs" that only counted as 1 hour, but required twice as much documentation as any lecture class. A 15 hour load in Engineering is easily the work of 21+ hours in most other majors. (Except Architecture. Those people were in it even worse.)
It ticked other students off when we said it, but other Engineering grads in my MBA program agreed that the workload and difficulty for an MBA was like a return to high school. (Then again, I was at Texas, so...)

I guess now is the time for the media to start breaking out all of the "Hungry America" "Homeless America" "Impoverished America" "Forgotten Americans" "news" stories that have been missing for the last 8 years.

Absolutely . If you can't routinely pull 20 hour days...engineering is not the major for you. It's around the clock studying and assignments

Beanie weenies FTW...
Lord, these kids act like they're the first student to go through college life. I got news. I lived in a very old apartment, no new carpet or hardwood floors, and worked 35-40 hours a week as a full time student, and thought I was a player because I had my own pad that I shared with two other people like myself. You eat what you can afford, and you learn to cook and get by.

I lived on bagel sandwiches and Golden Grahams. Throw in a pizza and you could eat on $5/day if needed.
