College student in trouble after renting college dorm room on Airbnb

A young entrepreneurial spirit has found himself in hot water after renting out his dorm room through Airbnb.

Boston student Jack Worth thought he had found a way to make himself a quick buck but soon landed himself in trouble with his college for his money making plan.

The student is facing disciplinary action from his college for renting out his dorm.

Jack Worth says he rented his dorm three times in early January.

The room was listed on Airbnb for two weeks before school officials made him take it down as it was against school regulations to rent out his room.

Worth is now in hot water with the college but he's gotten lots of support on social media - with the launch of a "Free Jack Worth" hashtag.

There is even a Change.org petition that has gathered a total of 470 signatures as of Thursday morning.

Even the CEO of Airbnb got involved in the debate offering his support to Jack Worth comparing his initiative to that of Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg.

But not everyone was in favour of his actions…
