Skidmore RD 2023

Does anyone have any information on Skidmore work study?

@erc2023 most freshman work study slots are in the dining hall, although if you have restaurant experience as my D did you might be offered a slot in one of the three other cafes instead. After freshman year I believe you can get hours in the admissions department, theatre ticketing booth, or other areas. Skidmore really works around your academic schedule and you choose 5, 7, or 9 hours weekly. I would suggest only five hours your first semester while you become adjusted to college life.

Does anybody know if you can take a language that isn’t offered? For example, I am interested in American Sign Language, but they don’t have it, so would the school be able to bring someone in or could I take the language at a different school? I know this is an oddly specific question lol

@worldofwonder14 Yes, you can do independent study (with approval). I think my D had that issue with advanced Arabic and the entry level professor agreed to mentor her.
