According to a recent <\/b>survey<\/b><\/a>, California students experience the most considerable difficulty in juggling several part-time jobs in combination with their university courses, in order to cover all their living expenses.<\/b>\u00a0<\/span>
\nData from the survey revealed that more than forty percent (40%) of students in both rural and central parts of California report that they cannot benefit from a secure housing situation. This is extremely worrying as the pressure of not having the security that you will be able to stay in your home is immense.\u00a0<\/span>
\nIn Los Angeles, one of the most popular student locations in California, about thirty percent (30%) of students reported that they are having issues with securing a permanent housing arrangement, and about thirty-three percent (33%) declared that they struggle to have constant access to food.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n

California students and college costs\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

While some universities in the United States have started offering <\/span>free higher education<\/span><\/a> to students who don\u2019t have the means to cover their tuition. However, a lot of students get into their university years without anticipating the living costs, which are not included in tuition fees.\u00a0<\/span>
\nCalifornia students have it even tougher as this is one of the notoriously expensive areas of the United States.\u00a0<\/b>
\nConsidering this, their task becomes unimaginably hard, as their focus and time need to be split, and most importantly balanced, between part-time work, and schoolwork. The insecurity of not having a permanent living space is another stress factor.<\/span>
\nAccording to researchers, some students have even had to sleep in their cars, or couch surf for extended periods of time. <\/b>Such living arrangements make it unimaginably challenging to focus on preparing university-related tasks, and actually achieving the grades most of these students want.\u00a0<\/span>
\nThe survey concludes that out of all California students, sixty-four percent (64%) reported that their learning process is obstructed by one of two main factors: college tuition costs, or living expenses.<\/b> Both of these factors are purely financial, and the government and higher education institutions should try to look into ways to make university education more accessible. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
