Most students toil away on summer jobs, and many on spring and Christmas breaks, to make ends meet. Some young people, in part due to cost, don't go at all -- a terrible waste of good minds.

So students do some amazing things to get through university. They live in accommodations that, in hindsight from their squeaky-clean later life, will look rather spartan. They often eat food that, 40 years later, would kill them if they tried it again. Their dress is often utilitarian, though amazingly trendy. And through all this scrimping, if post-secondary education hasn't changed too much since we were there, students find a way to get to pub nights.
