Abstract
Pursuing a college education is an important step. Seventy-five college undergraduates, 21 of whom were unstably housing, were interviewed. Significant differences emerged on subjective experiences including feeling connected to one’s university. However, both groups reported similar grade point averages. Finally, the two groups differed in how their education was funded.
