About a quarter of students at 66 U.S. colleges and universities said in a survey that they had gone hungry in the previous month, researchers said on Tuesday.
Experts said the findings, which are from the largest survey to measure hunger on campuses, confirmed concerns over poverty's prevalence at universities and colleges.
Jed Richardson, a scientist with the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and one of the researchers, said high living costs, including tuition fees in some instances, might explain the results.
