<p>thank you guys for all the help! you have answered pretty much all of my questions! i just thought of one more question. how do you not get placed in the substance-free dorm. i don’t smoke and don’t want a roommate that smokes inside the dorms, but I don’t want to be put in Johnson. can anyone give insight?</p>
<p>It’s my understanding that IF you were to end up in the substance-free dorm, but didn’t request it, you would not be given a roommate who had requested it. I believe that in the past several years that dorm has not filled up w/ students seeking substance-free housing – but obviously WFU won’t leave the rest of the rooms unoccupied. The school would separate students by floor, building wing, or some such. Non-substance free students would not be held to the substance-free contract. But, the short answer to your question is probably it’s the luck of the draw, so you just have to hope for the best.</p>
<p>There’s usually a sub-free hall/floor in Johnson if it doesn’t fill up, meaning none of those kids have to be sub-free. Substance free kids won’t be placed with kids that didn’t sign the pledge and vice versa.</p>
<p>Aren’t all dorms smoke-free?</p>
<p>i think i remember someone saying that the dorms allow smoking (or i could be wrong). what questions are on the questionnaire anyway?</p>
<p>If I remember correctly (it’s been a while), there is a question about if you smoke and if you could live with a smoker on the housing questionnaire that everybody fills out, not just those applying for Johnson. The housing questionnaire is only about 5-6 questions - the other ones are stuff like “are you clean or messy” and “do you usually go to bed before or after midnight?”</p>
<p>No, the smoking policy changed on campus - you aren’t allowed to smoke 50ft within any of the buildings now …</p>
<p>Unless you’re a university police officer, then you can smoke where ever you want and bother everyone with it.</p>
<p>I was disappointed and frustrated as a freshman to find that there is no central location to find non-work study jobs on campus. You are left to figure out things on your own. Here are some on campus jobs that are available to students without work study. </p>
<ul>
<li>working in Benson Center (get paid minimum wage to sit at a desk and do your homework)</li>
<li>tutoring (for the Learning Assistance Center, Student Athlete Services, the Writing Center, or the Math Center)</li>
<li>referee for intramural sports</li>
<li>research (although often you do this for class credit)</li>
<li>grading papers</li>
<li>i THINK you can work in the library without work study</li>
<li>front desk attendant at the gym (the Miller Center)</li>
</ul>
<p>That is really about it. It is pretty frustrating. At other schools, it is easy to get jobs in campus stores, swiping cards in the cafeteria, etc, but its pretty impossible to get these jobs without work study, and because all food service people are unionized through Aramark.</p>
