These students are tough and very bright. Instead of living paying off debts for years they sacrifice and I bet they will also be able to live frugal lives instead of a life of waste and debt. A life of discipline. God Bless you and your families.
These are teaching them life skills, so sad that there are not any affordable housing. But I love that they are using initiative and making things work for them
the veterans specifically picked out SF to get the most money (they got $4k+ a month instead of $1.5k a month in other cities), pay no tuition (since the community college is free for residents) and they're living in a van to pay no rent. They would still choose to live in a van even if housing was $750 a month. They're saving as much money as they can. Not a bad thing at all. Smart, but something you can only do if you're single.
I intend to go to college in the capital of my country and also heavily think about living in my car,rent would cost me 200 the least,and the average salary is around 400,thats half...😑
When I got into collage I paid ~28$ monthly for rent, no other fees required, and it was a 3 star Hotel. Well that's Europe... Even got payed for good grades, and You can choose a so called "Dual Training", so half of the time You already working at a comapny, and get payed, and get experience.
i graduate in 2023, this is my plan. im only 16 but its a common theme with kids my age living in 2021 to worry about how we will be able to live as adults with high inflation and rising rent, food, EVERYTHING prices especially post-pandemic. Its a sad reality.
@@Mral236d i mean it is a pointless degree where I see this girl same as me already made a million selling her paintings and shes like 20 yrs old now so she skipped college 🤣
Imagine using tons of dollars for a medical and business degree knowing everyone wants to be one and get your resume scraped with the other rejects. Art can be from design, animation, fashion and illustration which many people love as much as the other “professional” boring careers
Im living on family property in a trailer now and considering going back to school. The places with the major i want to do (biomedical engineering) are all in very expensive cities. Im hoping to us3 any financial aid i get to avoid student loans and not have it go to housing so im considering this. Sad that we have to consider homelessness in hopes of MAYBE bettering our lives.
OMG I do hope that community colleges are opening up the parking lots for a safe space to park, sleep and live. I would hate to see anyone hurt by parking in places that are unsafe.
we shouldn't enable homeless(By Choice) to sleepbin college parking lots get a job and be responsible my sister raised 2 kids worked full time and went to school and was never homeless
@@swolfe9668 Giving to the Homeless who refuse job placement, mental health services, or refuse to attend job placement services or school is enabling. It's not enabling when you are securing the safety of those inching towards a college degree that gives them a fighting chance.
I live in my car in Ohio. Main reason being that I have OCD. If this statement puzzles you, then you probably have no idea what OCD really is. And no, I do not drink, smoke, or use any drugs... never have. I am here watching my parents slowly kill themselves from stuff like that. Where I'm from, I didn't have much. The only thing that allowed me to have some pride is that I was always able to say no. Regardless of my current situation, I am not a victim. I do what I can. I also work full-time and stacking up money as I save about $1500+ a month by having no rent. Be safe and if you notice that someone needs help, they will remember your face for the rest of their lives.
FREE education + high rent? Welcome to Sydney Australia, except our education is NOT free. I'll swap you!! Doing my Masters while living in a TINY van (Mitsubishi express, 2002). Built it while living in it.
I think it’s wonderful that the military personnel are willing to sacrifice comfort to save grant provided for housing by GI Bill. But that is a choice and not true homelessness. Nonetheless, thanks for your service and best of luck.
I am familiar with the motivation to continue pursing a dream career no matter how the circumstances appear to be, for my dream to be a lawyer is a career I hope to have one day. God bless the homeless students to accomplish their dream career and a happy life. 🙏🏾❤️🙏🏾
Why not? Regulations mean they need to be retired at a certain point when they're still drivable but not with guaranteed dependability and they're usually with standing room. Sounds like a win-win.
🙏 OMG! The world is facing homelessness as a way of life now in an increasingly expensive housings & rentals situation ... Governments should planned & think of Basic Necessities like providing Safe , Healthy , Easy to Manage Housings with Good running Water & Electricity , Proper Free Education & later Career Guidance to land them jobs before encouraging people to get married & to have kids ... If Governments can't even planned & get the Basic Necessities going , why are they spending US$Billions of Dollars a year fighting others wars at overseas?! 🕯🌎
Love it! Even adults with children have sold their homes and are building out buses, vans, campers, army trucks, the lists are extensive. So is not just because one can’t afford a house, apartment. Is so much more. Freedom, savings, travels and take your home with you why not ❤️❤️❤️🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽 I’m definitely building out one this year maybe with a sprinter 🤔
Huge difference between choosing to do it for fun / freedom, vs having to do it so your not crippled by student debt, while trying to improve your life.

Bro talk about entitled, they have the GI bill with $4,000/month and they wanna live in a truck. There are people that are actually roughing it because they have to.
yea i was feeling sorry for them at first but then the dude said he was getting a little over 4k a month with the GI bill. They choose the van life, i was thinking why would you want to live in a van outside for a jr college. Gotta save up that GI bill cash.
They risked their lives and served their country and are entitled to those funds. Problem with entitlement in today's kids is that they didn't do anything to earn what they expect to receive.
@@boomshakalaka415well yeah i think it is a smart move how they choose the most expensive city to attend Jr. college and van life to get the most out of their military benefits.
Just because there are people worse off doesn’t mean they’re supposed to be living their lives differently. They can spend it on housing or save it to buy a townhouse or apartment after college, rather than swimming in debt forever. where’s the entitlement?

Blame the kids sure. great analysis.
Indeed, and they should be allowed to do it. Should also be allowed to park on campus so long as they pay for parking lol.
@@Mrsharky it certainly is better to raise kids in a home/apt rather than a car/trailer.
I love your van. and the fact that you are happy and content with the simple uncomplicated life.
Would love to find a similar community in Sydney, Australia: student living in their vans. Because it's 'vanlife' with a goal other than "travel'. :)
Is a great and sad reality.

Living indoors is a luxury in the US.
I hope that all of their hard work is worth it afterwards
They aren't wealthy.
hello, you want to do a zoom meeting about college students living in vans. Not alone, with other college van dwellers? It'll be a lot of fun.

Problem with america education
College do not provide them like small room or hostel for student
Pay so high but no hostel
Sad america
Help us change.
I would do the same, save up money and live like this for a while. California housing is ridiculously overrated.
they should allow the students to use the school washroom and showers 24/7
The college will soon start charging for vehicles that people live in.

Open dedicated parking lots, across the country.
Is it illegal for international students to do this?????
Our vets are homeless???
Yes. For a long time now.
Just watch the news, it's all over the country.
they're gonna be homeless either way. that's why they joined the military.
update is needed!
That's so cool

Health, hygiene and safety l is a need. We are not immortal. Every day has be healthy, hygienic and safe.
Why they don't look for a job, if you are jobless you gonna be homeless. Hello!
They can't justify working for a living. that's it.
boo hoo.
Nice to see Veterans, set an example of what it's like to pull yourself up by your boot straps. Life and America owes it's citizens; nothing.
