| Work Study only pays minimum wage. I'm not poor, and when I did it as a freshman it was something to do to fill time that otherwise would have spent procrastinating or hanging out. I could study at my job.
In regard to students being wealthy, I'd say most are well off, but someone could be poor, and I probably would not notice unless he complained about it. Living in Lexington does not require one to pay big bucks for any activity. Parties are free. Maybe he won't drive a Land Rover or have a flatscreen in his room, but so what. |
