College Dining Costs Rise
Six students at Towson University described how rising food, rent, travel and other costs are straining budgets while they balance school and work. Senior Jack Wischhusen said a Chipotle dinner cost nearly $20—more than an hour’s wages at his $16-an-hour job—while another student’s shared apartment rent rose from $1,900 to $2,500 a month. Some students are cutting subscriptions or seeking cheaper groceries, and one is reconsidering plans to pursue a doctorate because of the expense.
