A Cardozo law student lived as a homeless person for nine weeks because he felt he didnt have any challenges.
The 2L, who called himself David, told Above the Law that he didnt intend to disrespect or marginalize anybody facing a real problem. I simply wanted to create a challenge in my own life, he said.
In an article called “Homeless by Choice,” the Yeshiva Observer published a Q-and-A interview with the student. David explained his decision to go homeless this way: So I’m in my second year at Cardozo and I already had an internship of my dream job. … I didn’t have romantic problems, and no financial problems, and my apartment was great, and the weather was great, and just everything was so good; yet I wasn’t satisfied, my life just felt meaningless.
