An enterprising young student, her senior year was unsuccessful in acquiring roommates to help defray living expenses. She moved out of the apartment and into her car for a school year. She parked her car in an upscale neighborhood and covered her car to give the car the appearance of value and disguise the fact that it was old and beat up. . Then she studied and slept in her car and used the gym facilities for clean up.
Food is cheap at the cafeteria.
She pulled a four point because she had no distractions. She applied and was accepted in grad school and is now a TA, so she is able to afford more spacious accomodations. She tells her story with humor now, but I think it must have been a trying time for her.
