<p>How are incoming freshmen with campus employment in there fa package notified of job opportunities? Also what are the best jobs on campus, i.e. pay the most or paid homework time?</p>

<p>Once you get a Brown email, you can sign up for JobMail, which sends out all the job opportunities on campus. I’m not sure if there’s an additional work-study notification process.</p>
<p>In my opinion, the best jobs are desk jobs in the different departments/offices and library jobs. Those are pretty tough to get - a lot of students end up working for BuDS (Brown Dining Services). BuDS is a pretty easy job and you can pick where and when you work for what you want most, which is really nice.</p>
<p>Here is a link abut campus jobs etc. [Information</a> for Students | Student Employment](<a href=“http://brown.edu/about/administration/student-employment/information-students]Information”>http://brown.edu/about/administration/student-employment/information-students) I had thought that freshmen students had been exempted from work -study requirements, but all I can find is that the Sidney Frank scholars have that waived freshman year. Campus jobs are not manditory (if you earned enough in a private summer job, or got an outside scholarship, that can replace the money part of campus job in your financial aid) but are usually pretty easy, a way to earn funds for all those “extras” be it toward books, or eating on Thayer, or even spring break travel, and a way to meet people outside of your dorm. I was a pre-med with the rigors of that study (lab time etc) and still managed to earn enough to have money still in the bank at the end of semesters!</p>
<p>Freshman used to have it waived but no longer, I’m told.</p>
<p>One of the highest paying is at the Call Center where you call Alumni for donations. I don’t know how hard that is to get, but if you have any related experience that would be good.</p>
<p>Library for doing homework.</p>
<p>You might consider a job with a professor in an area of interest, though. My daughter worked for a prof recruiting and running tests on human subjects for cog sci her first year.</p>
<p>After the school eliminated loans for families below whatever income ceiling (floor?) they decided on, they then required freshman to contribute more to their education by including work-study freshman year. This was after the 2007-2008 school year. My daughter had a work-study component in her FA for three years and never had any trouble at all finding a job. In fact, I think she invented one in her department.</p>
<p>I work in the library reshelving books for a few hours a week, and I just got a job at the new Nelson center…which is really nice bc I can get hw done. I also found an off campus babysitting job on sporadic weekend nights. Its not too hard to get one…just keep applying. The easiest to get are through BUDS and library shelving.</p>
