$30/month is likely a rounding error in the budget of students at the schools mentioned in the article.

Students may be notorious for being cheap (rightfully so, given the financial situation they are placed in) although when a single textbook cost $200 and you need 3 different ones every term, a $30/m subscription that effectively is a magic textbook that writes for you is worth its weight in gold.

Still cheaper then being jobless or without the bachelor

In comparison to textbooks or tuition even a $1000 a month could be palatable
