What are the most overlooked obstacles students face after they've made it to college or university? And what does meaningful support look like at that stage?

Owen ChartersGUEST
I actually think a few organizations are starting to explore what that means.

Owen ChartersGUEST
I will also call it a bit, you know, the challenge of the, the middle class is experiencing the return to your pa-- to the parents' basement, including it is much more expensive to go to post-secondary school, so we're seeing a lot more students who stay home to go to post-secondary.

Owen ChartersGUEST
But also after post-secondary, it's what do you do with a degree? And so you come back and sleep on the couch in the basement because it may be somewhat rent-free until you can figure out what's next.

Owen ChartersGUEST
One is going to college or university is, for many students, the first time they are leaving home.
