 Student Lives In His Truck for 19 Months Armed with determination and driven by a thirst for life experience, student Andy Bussell made the decision to become homeless. He’s been sleeping in his truck for the past 19 months. By day, he attends film classes, followed by work for Apple. Andy’s evenings are filled with rock climbing and yoga classes. He’s become very adept at creating a schedule that allows him to make full use of public facilities and he’s become very organized and efficient. He plans to spend the last week before graduation with no-holds-barred: Andy plans to hit the street without even his truck for shelter. He’s going to sleep in the bushes with nothing more than a backpack of belongings.  "I've learned that I could set my mind to something and do it," he said. "I think I've gained an appreciation for homelessness, in a way. Mine is a choice, but I can appreciate it now. I can understand what people are going through."
Still, to gain a further understanding, Bussell plans to live as a homeless person for a week before he graduates, carrying a backpack with his belongings and sleeping in the bushes of Cal State Fullerton.
