What to do if your family doesn't help you foot the college bill? Work four jobs and take out lots of Student Loans. Oh, and sleep in the library basement.

That was an NYU student's solution to his financial woes. Instead of paying for a dorm room, he shacked up in the library and kept his personal belongings with him. And he showered in friends' rooms.

The university caught wind of his escapades via his Web site, homelessatnyu.com. He's now living free in a dorm.

You be the judge: Resourceful or pathetic?
