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).

I was never a protestor, but was a student on a campus where people occasionally did.

I went to class maybe twice a week and some classes I almost never showed up to and still passed. Attendance isn’t as mandatory as you think at college classes. I went to a major university’s journalism school. Pretty sure there would’ve been plenty of time to do both.
