An online questionnaire distributed a convenience sample students aged 18–34 at Midwestern university. Of the 938 responses, 675 were complete analysis. Outcome measures included demographics, security level, housing, access barriers, coping strategies, assistance program usage. Results found that predictors associated non-White race, receipt financial aid, lower self-reported health status, living off-campus, employment, cost (p < 0.001). Graduate student Asian self-identification, cost, no time prepare foods, lack foods dietary needs Students more likely buy cheap Almost 50% food-insecure undergraduates asked friends or family help food.
