Op- understand how work study operates. You only get the $ after you’ve worked.
So a job at the college library- if you qualify for work study- you work your hours, you get your paycheck. They don’t hand you the cash at the beginning of the semester. So you can’t be tapping your work study award to pay your bill- it will likely cover incidental expenses (toiletries, laundry, a pizza) but will not make a dent in your room and board fees.
i’m worried you don’t have affordable options here…
