I live near a college with 3 other people.

Right. And SNAP, for a household of 4, allows the entire household to earn no more than $2498 a month. You suggest living, yourself, on just under HALF of that. You are nowhere near living on the kind of budget that the people SNAP is targetted at have access to.

I lived off of $1500 for three months. That's pretty easy to do. My expenses were: $300 /rent +  $75 utilities (it was a sublet though) and $150/month on food. I didn't starve or anything either. I had snacks in addition to two meals a day.
