How can we tell he's homeless?

He looks on in pity, for he has less debt than any one of them.

Queens College! I graduated from there last year. There were homeless people who stood on that road and would beg for money while cars waited for the light to change. Not sure if he's one of them

For all we know, that person might have graduated college and has a valid degree. He might not be looking at the students in envy, but rather because he's bored and hey look there, something different and interesting is happening.

Probably looking and remembering when he graduated from there with hopes and dreams not knowing his major was crap. Maybe a art major or a Political Science major. Now relining college taught him how to memorize what others said but never how to think form himself. How to problem solve so now he has his cup to beg with maybe a little cardboard sigh to hold up asking some one to give him money because he doesn't know what else to do, really sad.

If all college taught was memorization, conservatives and religion wouldn't be so afraid of it. College teaches critical thinking and exposes people to different ideas and cultures. Something public schools go out of their way not to do.

Yup the pope is scared to death rite now thinking its all over no more donations no more power lol. And it doesn't teach critical thinking it teaches belief in critical thinking as long as you think what they teach you, want proof disagree with a professor and see what happens. As for different ideas and cultures you mean specific ideas and cultures things like how wonderful the blacks are and the Mexican and other Latina because its about race not culture nothing about Canadians or Norwegian and Australia is like a different world full of aliens. College was higher learning at one time not any more don't get me wrong I had some great teachers but the institution as a hole was lets say less then impressive. I could go on about this all day but its to big of a subject for fs.

You can't always get a loan. You need income and a place of residence and also a bunch of other shit. Otherwise people would be getting loans all the the.

I've been homeless, and now I am a college student heading towards graduation. The dichotomy is extreme, and I can feel the paradox in my own life. This photo is powerful and reminds me of where I came from, and of where I'm going.
