In Paris, over 350,000 students rely on the Crous, a public organization that manages student housing and meals, for affordable food and accommodation. However, in the evening, only one of the Crous dining halls in the capital remains open, forcing students to line up to secure a spot. The meal prices are as low as 1 euro, making it an essential resource for many who struggle with the high cost of living. The scarcity of evening meal options has led to long queues, with students often waiting for hours to get a meal. This situation has sparked frustration among the student community, who are already dealing with rising living expenses and limited financial support. On Monday, September 14, one student took to X (formerly known as Twitter) to express their discontent, highlighting the challenges faced by their peers. The post was picked up by the local news outlet "Actu Paris," bringing attention to the issue. The situation underscores the growing difficulties faced by students in Paris, who are increasingly turning to such affordable meal options to manage their budgets. With only a single Crous facility available for evening meals, the demand far exceeds the supply, leaving many students without a reliable source of food after classes.
