Abstract | This study of homeless students' existential experiences was focused on urban community colleges and postsecondary vocational schools and universities. Homeless students encounter unique existential challenges, yet homeless students have proven abilities to access resources essential for their academic pursuits. The study results showed homeless students are attracted to institutions with open-door polices that facilitate access to financial resources and are staffed by accommodating faculty. Among this study's findings are that homeless students camouflaged ubiquitous signs of their homelessness by concealing their indigent status. Yet, homeless students sought and desired to socialize and maintain relationships with their peers. All the participants in this study were pursuing their studies with ambitions and aspirations to graduate and start businesses to emancipate themselves from homelessness and re-enter the macro-society. This data driven study contributes new insight to the phenomenon of homeless students and new knowledge on homeless students' life worlds and their existential experiences in higher education institutions. The study's findings, applications, and usefulness target natural audiences made of educators, academic administrators, and private and political stakeholders. Additionally, this study may be used to advocate for the welfare of homeless students to private and public agencies as well as organizations that promote social policies for indigent populations, including development projects of residential hostelry for homeless students.
