You fine your own work study jobs. Many available in the library, at the dorm desks (don’t like people? work at 3 am) at the rec center and yes, at the dining hall. If you don’t use your work study, it might be cancelled or not awarded for the next semester. D’s school has kids looking for extra so if someone doesn’t start using within about 6 weeks, they will cancel it and re-award. They also took her 2nd semester away as she went on semester abroad, and gave it to someone else.
Thanks everyone for the great info!
