A bit off topic, but we had a thread a few years back about food insecurity on campuses and how hidden the issue is. It made me realize that I often went hungry because I had no money to buy anything outside my meal plan which covered lunch and dinner (in my dorm only) Mon-Sat and brunch on Sunday, no breakfasts, so I ate 13 meals a week with nothing between brunch on Sunday and lunch on Monday. That’s it. I didn’t give it a thought because it just wasn’t an option to eat more. I do remember using studying as an excuse to avoid going out with people who were headed for pizza or burgers. My BF (now DH) was as poor as I was, so we found other things to do. We just didn’t focus on food back then, and it wasn’t as ubiquitous as it is now.
I’m glad our CC students are faring better.
