Q: What are ways college students can eat healthy when they are on a budget?
For many college students like myself, eatting healthy is not always possible and many college students are on a shoe string budget for groceries and many students end up eatting food they do not like. This food can include Ramen Noodles, Canned Food, Frozen Food, and eatting fast food such as pizza and hamburgers. What kind of advice would you give to college students to eat healthy when they are on a budget for food and groceries?

A: fruits and veggies are a lot cheaper than eating out. try spicing up your noodles with small peices of meat and veggies, kinda like a little stir fry. it's healthier and yummier. Also, milk, eggs, and flour can make thousands of different foods. For example, Swedish Pancakes. Add a little cinnamin and jam or fruit, they're delicious and healthy! I eat those for dinner sometimes. You can get billions of recipes online that only require those three ingredients, plus whatever you want to add to it. It's simple to eat healthy on a tight budget. It's also cheaper to eat healthier!

Q: What topics are college students interested in?
I am plan on starting a blog aimed towards college students. A one stop for everything type blog. With everything from college advice to fashion trends. I want to know that topics interest the everyday college student? When you in the dorm, and search online for something to read about what would interest you most? Anything that comes to mind would be a big help?

A: Drinking Drugs Sex--maybe you could write something about weird sex trends--like those naked parties some college's have (google it) Making money Getting good grades while doing as little work as possible

Q: Does anyone else find the spoon-feeding in high school detrimental to the students' college life?
I had always thought that in high school, all of the baby spoon-feeding would stop. I thought that teachers wouldn't ask for assignments over and over again, and I believed that students would be held accountable for their own school and homework. However, as a high school senior this year, I find this has not been the case. I have had teachers that would allow students to turn in assignments over 4 weeks late, and the only penalty was an automatic 30 point reduction. (In my school, a 70 or higher is passing.) This year, as a senior in high school, my AP Government teacher is requiring a notebook, spiral, and folder for her class and will be giving "notebook grades", to basically make sure that we keep up with our work! Shouldn't we know how to do this on our own by now? I mean, come on! We're seniors! College is just around the corner and no college professor is going to give "notebook grades". Is my high school the only one sabotaging their students' college futures?

A: Your observations are refreshing, since, as a thrice graduated university student, I can look back at the schools and see more "nursing" and "hand-holding" styles of teaching than is healthy for our minds, egos our professional futures. Let me say here that I think the problem lay with both the student and the teachers, or teaching systems. And this is putting the blame as much on my shoulders as on anyone else's since I never was the greatest highschool student, or undergraduate college student either. It wasn't till I was in graduate school the first time that I "got the lead out" and began serious studying, but, even then, sad to say, I wasn't the best student, and I can look back and see my "soft points" as a student. I guess, in my "not-so-humble-opinion", the fault for our poor educational system lies not as much with the system, although it's got plenty of faults, as it does with our entire culture that is devoted to electronic media entertainment that has long ago encroached upon our schools, and our pathetic morals (or lack of morals entirely). I could add plenty of more "faults" that I see as I look over the problem, but those two are the first and foremost. And this includes the internet entirely. I know it's a great source of "information", as is seen in the innumerable referrals to Wikpedia when someone actually comes to YA and tries to get others to do their homework for them, but when you have to stoop to Wikpedia as an information source, well, you might as well turn on your tv and watch the History Channel and all it's derivatives to get a real and true picture of history in all it's directions. God help us if you do. But, I guess I've gone on long enough for you to get the drift of my response. I must say that your question is very refreshing in that, as I read it, I read a young person actually caring about their education, and willing to speak up about it. It bodes well for the future of our society. I hope you have a lot of friends with whom you share your sentiments. God Bless you.

Q: What are the obstacles that college students face when it comes to eating healthy on campus?
I'm a high school student and I'm doing a presentation about how college students eat healthy on campus and so my thesis question is basically, what are the obstacles that college students face when eating healthy on campus? I have some ideas already, for example busy schedule, lack of money, and stress. But I need more ideas becuase I need to write a three page essay on it also. I really would appreciate it if you can share some of your ideas. Thanks in advance!

A: lack of nutritional knowledge, lack of food preparation skills, limited cooking utensils, appliances,

Q: Should college students be allowed to carry guns for their own protection?
The horrible shootings that occurred recently have stirred up this controversy, with some people advocating that students carry guns to halt such attacks. I have two questions. First, are college students mature enough to handle weapons? Secondly, would guns make a difference in any campus attack, saving lives rather than causing more deaths?

A: Many people are killed by their own guns - in the hands of the bad guys. The police force where I live does not carry guns. In the whole history of this force, only one member has ever been killed in the line of duty, and that was more than 50 years ago. No guns.

Q: Why do college students have to purchase their books for class?
Why won't the University buy the books themselves and let the students check them out? It's just so much money for college students, on top of tuition, room and board, and fees. What is the problem with doing what high schools do and allow the students to borrow them?

A: The problem is exactly that; universities are not high schools. They require much more money to run and cannot function solely on tax dollars like high schools do (i think). They are much larger and have more staff and faculty who need to be compensated. Universities need as much money as possible to do research and experiments in subject areas. Those grants they get go straight to some project they are working on.

Q: College Professors, how do you handle students who misbehave in your classroom?
What are some effective disciplinary techniques for college students? What if students are talking in your class, coming in late or sleeping? How do you handle these students in a way that proves to be effective?

A: Professors at my school usually don't do anything about people that are late or sleeping during class, as they are earning their D or F in the class. Points are generally taken off for tardiness after a specific amount of time that the professor deems neccissary. As for talking, they are asked to take it outside, share their conversation with the rest of the class, or basically told to shut up in front of the class. Some professors get pretty sarcastic in that regard. If it the talking is excessive, then the student is pulled aside and spoken to about it and told that they should sit somewhere else in the class or drop the class as they are viewed as a disturbance to the rest of the class. Usually a few healthy doses of sarchasm works very well to get the point across.

Q: What type of articles do college students like to read in a student newsletter?
Mostly things that college students would like to read about. Like entertainment, celebs, new movies, sports, music, etc...any specific topics? if this newsletter were going out nation wide and not just to a specific school. It would need to be a broad topic for all college students in general.

A: I would want to read about where fun things are happening with or around campus keep them having fun but getting them involved in their school too.

Q: What do college students need to learn or know in order to be effective team members in the "real" world?
I am teaching a course called "Team Dynamics" at the college level. The students are juniors and seniors, with most majoring in business. We are learning about face-to-face and virtual teams in the class. We would appreciate hearing what you think these students need to know in order to be effective team members in the real world.

A: Well to work as a team (no solo working), ask for help, learn it's okay to be wrong.

Q: What percentage of college students are veggies, and what are the most vegetarian-friendly college campuses?
I'm curious about the percentage of college students today who identify as vegetarian (including vegan and lacto-ovo), as well as which campuses are known as the most considerate and accommodating of a veg diet. Anyone got answers?

A: There is no accurate data on percentages of vegetarian college students in the US and Canada. The number does also vary considerably from campus to campus. PETA just issued a list of vegetarian-friendly campuses. I've linked it below.

Q: Do you have any easy meal ideas for college students?
I am a college student and like most college students we have limited resources to make food. My dorm building has one kitchen and it pretty much just has a stove. I have a microwave and fridge in my dorm room. Any ideas?

A: Creamy pasta can be made by using 1 can of 98% fat-free cream of chicken soup, 1 can of water, 3 cups of penne pasta or 2 cups broken up pieces of spaghetti noodles, 1/2 cup of shredded cheese, 1/4 cup of grated parmesean cheese, and salt and pepper to taste. Mix all this up in a big bowl and pour into a greased pie pan or 8x8 brownie pan. Bake at 350* for about 50 mins or until noodles are cooked thru. You can add some chicken, turkey, or tuna to this, and if it seems too dry, add a little water and mix well. Mac & Cheese Grilled Cheese Baked potatoes Tuna Salad Chicken Salad Pimento Cheese Sandwiches Wraps of any kind bagel bites Invest in a crockpot - can buy for around $20 bucks at Wal-Mart, and search for crockpot or slowcooker recipes online. Buy items when on sale and use your crockpot like crazy so while you are in classes all day or working at night, you can have a hot decent meal ready any time.

Q: What is there to do in Las Vegas for college students majoring in Television and Radio Production?
I am a college professor who will be attending the BEA/NAB conference in a couple weeks (April 17-22). I will be attending the conference with four students who are either graduating in May or will be graduating shortly. There are many thing occurring during the convention to keep them occupied but I was wondering if there are any events or attractions that would be of interest to college students in general as well as to students interested in these fields? What are some things for them to do while we are there? What would you guys recommend? Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me.

A: If you call around to the various hotels, you should be able to get a back stage tour of some of the shows. Most of the hotels are usually pretty cool about this. Also many of the TV/Radio stations in town are usually pretty cool about tours. As for night life, everything that was mentioned was fine.

Q: What percentage of college students take out loans?
Due to personal beliefs I've decided to not participate in the ROTC program at my college, and I've lost the tuition to cover my expenses for the school year. My parents are giving me a hard time about it, saying that many students have scholarships to cover these expenses already, and that not everyone relies on loans. I've earned one scholarship so far and am on financial aid, and going to an in-state school which has reduced me costs to $6000 a year, which is pretty good going to a Public Ivy if you ask me.. I want to prove to them that not every student has full rides or pays for it straight cash. Does anyone have the numbers/facts on this data when it comes to loans?

A: I found a surprisingly interesting fact from my school; the University of Iowa. It said that %44 of students that graduate were debt-free! I was very surprised, they also said that of those %56 that had loans the average amount at graduation was only $12,000. I think that is pretty good considering the schools tuition/Room and Board/Living Expenses are in excess of $17,000 a year. As for myself, my parents are pretty well off but are not paying a dime for my schooling so I am taking out loans for about $6,000 my freshman year and the rest is paid for by grants/scholarships. Just remind your parents that you will be sure to get a career that has a high salary right out of college so you can quickly pay off the debt. I am going to be an accountant like my father so average salary for first year out fo school accountants is over $55,000,, so I am not worried and neither should you or your parents as long as you will be a good student.

I'm basicly looking for any companies / websites that want to sell products to college students or highschool students. 18-24 year olds. Any and all suggestions would be great. thanks.

A: Any and all cheap textbook sites. scholarship finders?

Q: What is the best credit card for college students?
Can anyone tell me what the best college student credit card is? What's usually the credit card limit for students? I'm planning to get it just in case I need it when I go to South Korea this summer.

A: HSBC has a student credit card. Usually the limit is around $500. They take into account that you might not have much of an established credit history. 1-800-975-4722 That's their number. They are pretty good cards too. Mastercard. Accepted anywhere mastercard is accepted, worldwide too.
