@annabanabelle Thank you! I’m definitely going to look into that, I’m planning on moving off campus after the first year anyway because my rent would most likely only be half or 2/3 of what the dorms cost depending on where I live. But if being an RA could get me free housing I’d definitely try to do that instead!
Work study typically gives you an option to take a check, put it towards your account, or a mix. If you don’t need the spending money and can just have it all put straight to your account you can take that amount out of “what you owe”. There is typically a max amount you can earn on work study though so that may be different than what you can earn at your off campus job.
@3kidsMultipleSports Oh, I see, thanks for explaining that! I’ll probably stick with my off-campus plan then, since it seems like I’ll have more freedom with that.
