The Occupy Wall Street movement has been on the forefront of many people’s minds for the past couple of weeks, college students included. With more people “occupying” cities nationwide, college students have joined in solidarity by Occupying Colleges. Today, students around the country participated in a 12pm walkout to show support to the Occupy Wall Street movement. Between the highest student loan debt our nation has seen and the job scarcity for recent graduates, students are among those calling for change.
