Senior Andrew Chang recently found out that his bank account held just 22 cents. He blames raising gas prices as a big reason for his lack of money because every fill-up is “$30 down the drain.” Like many students, he has had to change habits as prices rise to $3.75 a gallon or higher. At the beginning of the school year, prices were averaging around $3.20. With this in mind, he is planning to resume his last summer job as a private swimming tutor in his backyard. “Now I usually prefer staying on campus for lunch and eat prepared lunch from home that is healthier.”
