COLLEGE KIDS ARE STUDENTS TOO! New York City is one of the most expensive cities to live in the world and it has the greatest number of college students in the United States (594,000 university students in NYC according to NY A Profile from Census 2000). That's a lot of students paying for tuition, books, and supplies, in addition to groceries, transportation, rent and personal expenses and funding is decreasing every year! School age students K-12 are eligible to receive full fare student Metro-Cards, sign this petition if you think college students should recieve these cards too!
