If any campus is especially easy to squat on, the 50$s would be an investment. BTW summer starts late april for me, and ends in aug. | ||

Yeah they make you work like, 39 hours per week so that they don't have to give you benefits like insurance, because they're required to do that for people working 40 hours a week. | ||

Like obviously the best solution is to beg a friend to let me go home with him. But that's awkward and you get 0 stories. | ||

There are several options for you. One sure fire way to survive is do day labor and live in a storage bin. Day labor, for those who don't know, is temporary labor. Basically, you show up at this place in the morning, get in line, and hope someone hires you that day. Generally its construction or something similar. You can make $40 or $50 per day doing that, assuming you get work. (look in the phone book for places like Labor Ready) The storage bin will allow you to keep your things safe and have a place to sleep that is safe. You can get free power by getting a light socket to ac plug converter. It is even possible to run a heater or hot plate, however be careful not to start any fires. Put a fake lock on the outside so when you close up from the inside it looks locked. A storage bin is somewhat advanced and acquired after significant time on the street. In a pinch, a safe place to sleep is on the roof of various buildings. Most buildings have flat roofs with ladders going up to them. Find one where people can't see top from another building and you won't have to worry about other people or animals. You can also create a "hooch" if there are some shrubs around. To be successful a machete is needed so you can go deep into the woods (a few hundred feet through thick shrubs is good). If you see beer bottles laying around or trash you haven't gone back far enough. You will also need to map out where the food banks in your area are. They give homeless people free food. Generally they are at places like Volunteer of America or churches. Truck stops are generally the best place for showers. You could also try a YMCA. | ||

Big summer school with dorms and library is a pretty good deal, but you can always settle in an alley way with bums they'll teach you their ways, how to survive, pan handling tips and such. Watch Into The Wild for more ideas. Just remember not to eat the poisonous berries, they fuck everything up.  I like how you cite some movie / book / true story about a naive kid sets out to live by the land and ends up dying. | ||

So, safety first. Above all, aim for something that lands you a roof over your head and at least a minimum of personal safety. There's a reason these things are valuable. It's your life - psychically, emotionally and spiritually. | ||
