It's wild. I had weird incidents in Lethbridge through the years, but nothing like this. It is a drastically different world.
I am right downtown, though, so I would hope it's not quite this bad everywhere.

Financal issues have when combined with the pressure of school and the requirement to succeed. Especially for later year undergrad and grad students.
For many, it's the first time they've been in that situation, so it's as much about inexperience as it is about the devastation and personal failure.

Fourth, aid often comes with very specific requirements students aren't used to qualifying for, so many disregard it as an option. Some of the steps outlined in the article would address this.

Third, the uni makes it clear they are uninterested in helping financially above the bare minimum, so for many, the shame and fight just wouldn't be worth it to seek aid.

Second, as a student, the university culture is very much a "figure it out yourself" situation.
