The HW 217 Lounge and Third Floor Cafeteria in the West Building have microwaves for heating up food. It’s New York City! Hunter’s urban campus location means there are countless places nearby to eat. Several of them offer discounts to Hunter students with. In California, a survey among University of California (UC) students revealed that one-fifth of its students do not have enough money for food. And, a survey among California State University (CSU) students revealed that 8% to 12% of its students are actually homeless, without permanent housing.
International students’ living and study in the UKIntroduction
Studying abroad has become a popular thing around the world. There are more and more people to care about the life of the students who study abroad. The topic of this research is about the international students’ living and study in the UK.
Analysis of the research
In order to understand the students’ living and study conditions in the UK, I gather information from my 10 classmates (6 males, 4 females).
Do you usually go to the library?
Nearly 60 percent of my classmates would like to learn or find some information to go the library more than twice or once a mouth. This shows that the library is still their main place of obtaining the literature information. However this kind of situation is still not very good for international students. If students not usually go to the library, they will lose a valuable resource.
Do you think it is important to go to class on time?
Most of students know that it is important to go to class on time. This is the respect for teachers and themselves. Students should take the problem seriously.
Do you think that the homework is useful in your study?
All the students obtained knowledge and benefit from homework. Homework is useful for everyone. Homework will review and expand what they have learned.
Do you prefer study in a group?
This model not only can communicate more effectively between students, but also train team spirit and students' cooperative consciousness. This model can cultivate a good quality that students would like to listen to the views of others. Each member wants to help each other, learn from each other, and listen to the…
With university tuition and living costs on the rise, community colleges have become increasingly attractive for those looking to save on their education. And yet community-college students, in particular, face challenges affording school.
A new report from the Wisconsin HOPE Lab finds many more community-college students are homeless or lack food than previously reported. Overall, the survey looks at 33,000 students across 70 community colleges in 24 U.S. states. Of these students, around two-thirds are “food insecure,” meaning they have limited or uncertain access to nutritionally adequate and safe foods. Around half of these students are also “housing insecure,” meaning they are forced to move often or cannot afford rent or utilities.
More striking still is the number of community-college students who are homeless: around 14 percent. The report identifies a few key differences between homeless students and the remainder of those surveyed—namely, that homeless students have less reliable work schedules in fields that are less related to their majors or intended career. Homeless students are also half as likely to earn a living wage (at least $15 an hour).
The report finds that nearly a third of homeless students at community colleges rely on loans to finance their education. They’re not alone. Another third of students who are food and/or housing insecure are employed and receive financial aid. “Food insecure students appear to be struggling to make ends meet despite working or reaching out for assistance,” the authors write. This is consistent across urban, rural, and even suburban areas.
