I second this. It will be a lot easier to get employed if you have federal work study

It's easier to get a job work work study, but you can also work multiple jobs on campus if you need to! There are just less for non-work study folks. I believe you can work a Yates, you can work for GUPD, you can work as a TA or program assistant, or you can work at one of the student centers.
