This is the largest national survey assessing the basic needs security of university students. It is the Wisconsin HOPE Lab’s 3rd national survey. This year the Lab reported on 43,000 students at 66 institutions in 20 states and the District of Columbia, which included over 20,000 students at 35 4-year colleges and universities, as well as students at community colleges. Overall, the study concluded 36 percent of college students said they are food insecure. Another 36 percent said they are housing insecure, while 9 percent reported being homeless. The results are largely the same as last year's survey, which included fewer students.
