<p>I live outside USA, so I really do not have an idea of what can be possible to earn there.
I will study in California and my college (Harvey Mudd) expects me to contribute with about $2,000 of work study. I suppose that that quantity can be achieved during the academic year.</p>
<p>Do you think it may be possible to earn besides the 2K, $3,000 more? </p>
<p>I will need them to complete the EFamilyContribution. In the summer.</p>
<p>I need a GOOD estimate. A conservative figure. Take into consideration all the restrictions internationals may have. </p>
<p>yes, it's definitely possible... with an average rate of 7 bucks / hr, you just need to work approximately 700 hours in a year to earn 5000 bucks. Assuming you work the max of 40hrs/week during 12 weeks of summer holidays, you will already clock 480 hours! (though, i'm afraid a huge part of it will go to pay for your additional charge for staying on campus during the hols) </p>
<p>just curious, how much aid (grants and loans) did hmc offer u?</p>
<p>but you do need to eat, right? And maybe you could spend some of the money you earn to actually have a life...once in a while go to a movie, or buy a book. So, you are bound to have expenses over the summer.</p>
<p>yes but if you really need money.you dont have to spend it.yes you will eat but you dont need to go to a movie,or drink bear or something.i can eat bread all day cuz i have to save 3000$ for my college tuition.</p>
<p>It would be a great if you could find some on campus job (maybe at an academic dept, so you'd be doing something related to your major/courses), the pay rate is decent and the hours flexible, especially if you work with an academic dept. I would suggest not taking up any clerical jobs, they're mundane and tiring, and you don't learn much. Just be careful while taking up a job. Goodluck! :)</p>
<p>About How much did HMC gave me, i think you can guess it out. Lets say, it costs 46K per year, and I am having trouble trying to find $3,800 per year. How much do you think my parens would be able to pay.
Lets say they gave me a lot, but i expected more. I live in a country where the minimum salary is less than $1 per hour.</p>
<p>I had heard that internationals could not work off campus. and well I really have not heard that you can stay in the dorms for free. What is your source sezgikocak ?</p>
<p>intls mostly stay with the international house in holidays (provided you get the approval..which is not that difficult)
And you can clock i think abt $7000-8000 in california (after first year) if u find good internships...</p>
<p>"if we are in a co-op program can we find any internship??(but excluding co-op session)"
First of all NO...
Are you going to college to study or Work
next if you want to make $5000 (just work 15hrs throughout school weeks,get an internship and spend only about $500 per term on yourself and watch it when you spend it) this can easily get you $5000..</p>
<p>internationals CANNOT WORK OFF CAMPUS FOR MORE THAN 12 MONTHS IN THE US.
u probably dont want to waste that time working a summer job(which will prbably be washing dishes/being a waiter).
and as for earning 8000-9000$ over the summer...as a freshman....hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah</p>
<p>either contact ur local USIS or go to a more informed forum...</p>
<p>the general calibre of information on CC has fallen so much since last year its appalling.</p>
<p>but vampiro in co-op session i work 4 months in a company.how can i work 15 hours in a week ??i m gonna study engineering.it must be hard to study your lessons with 15 hrs work after school,what do you think ?</p>
