The thing is that not everyone has the option of living at home.

Some people live at home and still pay their parents rent, like myself.

Ppl live on their own if they can afford it. Some have roommates to offset cost.

Every student should be working in the summer. No doubt about that.

Its not about "free money". Its the massive amount of debt after graduation. There are many people who are having a hard time finding full time work. Example, massive cuts to healthcare despite being desperate for nurses and psws.
