How can college students afford to do full time camp out style protesting? Don’t they have school work to do? Won’t professors just fail them for not going to class/doing the work (assuming they aren’t).

College is generally very flexible. Most classes are big lectures where professors don’t take attendance. Even attending all lectures takes ~15 hours/week. For most classes, there’s a midterm and final exam, maybe a paper or a presentation, but no daily or weekly homework to turn in. Reading can be done while camping out. Spending 10-15 hours in class and another 20-30 hours doing reading, homework, etc. would still leave a lot of time to be at the protest site, and I think that’s what most students are doing.
