The financial burden is not an easy one. Thousands of students toil at part-time jobs while others immerse themselves entirely in their studies, looking to graduate early, save money and enter the workforce. But others, said Angela Bermudo, go an alternative route and seek "sugar daddies" and "sugar mommas."
Hundreds of Rutgers 'Sugar Babies' join 'Sugar Daddy' website
A total of 317 Rutgers students have registered profiles with seekingarrangement.com, a spokesperson for the site said. How many of those are active users is unclear. The number represents less than one percent of the university's total population of enrolled students, which stands at 40,720 for the 2014-2015 school year.
Still, with last year's growth, Rutgers has shot into the top-50 on the website's annual ranking of fastest growing "Sugar Baby Schools," which was released by the website last week.
