Attending college in a big city is an incredibly amazing experience. The world is at your fingertips, you’re in the center of the action, and there’s always something to do (besides your actual classwork, of course). However, attending an urban college isn’t all rainbows and puppies – sometimes it kinda sucks. Here are 17 struggles city students have to power through each year.
17 . It’s Hella Expensive
Not only is your tuition through the roof, but so is everything else. Restaurants, clothing stores, even the cute little markets that come to the park three times a month – everything is bumped up for the budget of a 37 year old corporate lawyer instead of a poor college student eating ramen six times a week.
16. The Campus is Weird
14. Snow? Not So Much Fun Anymore
No matter how much you loved snow as a child, there’s just nothing fun about dealing with it in the city. There’s always enough snowplows in a big city to make sure class isn’t cancelled, but too few to actually clear the sidewalks you need to get out to class. Have fun motivating yourself to get to that calculus exam in THAT weather!
