<p>Is there much choice in what kind of job/ what hours you get? And I haven't heard anything from Colgate about it yet, do i need to contact them or fill out any forms? Or do they cntact u once school starts?</p>
<p>They do not contact you. You have to look on the portal to find jobs, and apply for what you want. There are some things, like life guarding, that I believe are more of a word of mouth thing.</p>
<p>As far as choices, there is pretty much your standard mix of jobs. Some jobs have set hours. Others let you chose. I worked six hours a week. I don't think you'll find a school job with more than 15 hours. You could also work for a business downtown.</p>
<p>When do you start applying? It seems like we must wait until we get our course schedule.</p>
<p>I applied for my job the first or second week of classes. I know my roommate had a job lined up before he got on campus.</p>
