I had never heard of this, but it sounds like a great option for some students. I don’t think the article was clear about whether they were the same program but it does sound like there is a wait list for the Housing and Food services program. OU seems to have a lot of part-time student jobs on campus that are convenient and accommodating of student schedules. My D has a campus job working as a tutor a few hours a week. The pay is decent, her schedule is arranged around her classes, no working on school breaks, and it sounds as if they have a good bit of training and development. It is certainly not going to cover housing or a meal plan, but some extra spending money is always nice.
