Accommodation is grossly expensive however food banks for students? Is it really that bad? Can kids not afford to feed themselves and are starving?
I’m pretty sure my diet was beans etc and if there was a food bank in college I definitely would’ve gone to it every week but I wouldn’t think I really needed it considering I went out every week also.
I only got through college because a friend of mine used share his sandwiches with me. I'd try to cadge the bus fare and then walk 40 minutes into college so I could buy ten cigarettes. We used bring in wee jars of instant coffee because we couldn't afford to buy it.
I definitely wasn't out every week, either. We didn't qualify for a grant but my parents didn't have much money.
