Wednesday, April 28, 2004 Chez moi: la bibliothèque This is the second crazy-college-living-situation story I've heard. Thanks to Ken for the original CNN article: NYU student sleeps for months in library basement. But the article is nothing--Steven, the student who was recently discovered and moved to a dorm, is a sophomore at NYU who has been living in the library since September. Even though he works multiple jobs, he gets little financial assistance from the university and no money from his parents and was thus unable to pay for housing. In the end, he decided to live in the library because one of his majors is English with an emphasis in Creative Writing, and what better experience is there to write about? Check out his website, HomelessatNYU.com for good stuff (note: the site might be down sporatically since he's exceeding his bandwidth). I actually read through the entire FAQ and a few Livejournal entries. Sounds like an adventure, if not something I'd want to do. The first crazy-college-living-situation story I heard: Josh and Nate's dad, Peter Payne, who now holds his PhD in philosophy and works with InterVarsity Christian Fellowship, apparently lived with a friend in a treehouse when they were students at Stanford University. Yup, you read that right: a treehouse. They took showers at the building (a YMCA or something similar) across the street and kept their stuff in lockers there. There's another cheap way to get housing. Apparently there are still rumors echoing around Stanford about those days. It's crazy to think about what respectable adults did when they were young.... :-p ^ Top | 1:27 AM | | |
