About this product
Product Information
The story of a student who went to extraordinary lengths - including living in a van on a campus parking lot - to complete his education without sacrificing his financial future. In a frank and self-deprecating voice, memoirist Ken Ilgunas writes about the existential terror of graduating from college with $32,000 in student debt. Inspired by Thoreau, Ilgunas set himself a mission: get out of debt as soon as humanly possible. To that end, he undertook an extraordinary 3-year transcontinental journey, driving to Alaska and taking a series of low-paying jobs. Debt-free, Ilgunas then enrolled himself in a master's program at Duke University, using the last of his savings to buy himself a used Ecoline, his new dorm. The van, stationed in a campus parking lot, would be an adventure, a challenge, a test of his limits. It would be, in short, his Walden on Wheels. Ilgunas went public in a widely read Salon article that spoke to the urgent student debt situation in America today. He offers a funny and pointed perspective on the dilemma faced by those who seek an education but who also want to, as Thoreau wrote, live deep and suck out all the marrow of life.

Quick and easy transaction. Item had not actually been a big box as described but rather a small box. That being said I didn't ask questions so it's on me. I would buy again but would take more care with the process.

I have seen that you have made a neutral feedback comment, However, you never contacted me after receiving the game to let me know there were any issues and or that you felt that the item was not you had been expecting. There was also photos setting out what the game looked like.
