For this podcast I chose the episode, “Food Fight”. During this episode it’s discussed how the quality of food your receive in college depends on if you’re rich or not.
Sadly not everyone can afford to attend a rich university like Bowdoin. If you can’t afford a fancy school then you’re treated like you’re nothing. If you go to Vassor then you can expect to get food that is served at prisons, maybe even worse from the sound of it. This goes to show that individuals with money have the power to get a better education, better treatment, possibly better jobs, and even better food. It doesn’t matter if you come from a poor family and are incredibly intelligent, you’ll be looked down upon from those on the high horse.
Students who attend Vassor can probably barley afford their schooling and living on campus. The tuition cost is ridiculously high to attend any college and yet they charge us thousands of dollars to pay them. It’s upsetting how students can pay such high amounts of money but receive food that is unappealing. I understand that the money is being used for more important things but I believe a diet is just as important as anything else.
The power money has in this world can either destroy you or get you to places others have to work 100 times harder to get to. Getting an education is what we believe will give us better a better life but a majority of students who attend college end up working a minimum wage job because of the amounts of money they had to put into trying to get a job.
While at Bowdoin the students are being treated like royalty AND getting a better education. However, it’s making it harder for leaders to help less fortunate individuals get into college.
The power of money and the power it can give someone is not only what people want but can still struggle even if they have enough or not enough of it.
