In reply to the discussion: food we lived on in college [View all]annonymous
(882 posts)54. Mac N Cheese with tuna, ramen noodles with frozen vegetables, frozen burritos, and Spagetti-O's
I ended up living on food like that for a while usually when I started the semester because I was broke from paying my tuition at community college. I went to school part time and worked a crappy job full time. I lived in a so called "food desert" and the nearest grocery store was this small independent place next to a dive bar. This made food buying a real adventure. I had limited access to healthy food during a good part of my student days.

My generation was pretty big on cheeseburgers and fries. Pizza was a new thing for us.
