>I went homeless for 1 week with no food. It was my last semester in university and couldn't pay for tuition because my bank acc was locked, so the university dropped my classes and i was not able to graduate, as failing to stay enrolled (international student) i had to go back to my country.

Aside from the bank's fault, this is a failure of basic society functioning on so many levels.

Dropping you because you couldn't pay for tuition for one week? Having to leave the country because you failed to enroll because of that? Being homeless for a week out of a bureucratic mistake?

True it boils down to people really. Society has just a facade of being functioning, in reality it as bad as the govt, banks that it represents.
