WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Review Excerpts
"This unprecedented book thoroughly exposes the tragic mismatch of university aspirations with the grinding realities of low-income college students' daily search for food. A well-researched must-read for student life professionals and others trying to craft practical solutions to the gnawing, often hidden problem of hunger on campus."
​
​
"Moving beyond patterns of who confronts food insecurity and why, the authors examine students' experiences of struggling to get enough to eat and the impact on their campus lives. These analyses show how selective colleges' physical and social layouts shape both access and challenges, and how the implications of food insecurity are exacerbated by affluent peer cultures. Anyone interested in first-generation, low-income students and how colleges manage class inequity should read this book."
