#RealCollege Curriculum
Course Trailer
Students are Humans First
The Hope Center for College, Community, and Justice is redefining what it means to be a student-ready college, with a national movement centering #RealCollege students’ basic needs. Food, affordable housing, transportation, childcare, and mental health are central conditions for learning. Without those needs met, far too many students leave college in debt and without degrees.

Beyond the Food Pantry (A preview of What are Colleges Doing, What’s Working, What Still Needs to Be Done- much more to come in later in-depth modules)
Module II: The New Economics of College
The Rising Cost of College and the Failure of Financial Aid

The evidence is clear: it’s time to stop being polite and start getting real about why so many students are leaving college without degrees. Life, logistics, and the lack of cash are getting in the way.
