Does anyone have any advice for getting work-study as a first year? Things you wish you knew going into the process about what types fo jobs you can do? Is it possible to do research as work-study as a first year? How much does work study typically pay?
I’ve read in the past that some OOS first years had trouble getting all of the work study hours that had been offered to them. Also, work study does not apply during summer or winter break. If a student really needs the money, they might be better off at a regular on-grounds or off-grounds job. I’m guessing that as a student gets older, they might have an easier time getting better and more interesting work-study jobs. Once you reject work study for that school year, you can’t get it back.
