<p>Tsubie-chan: There usually isn’t 8-10 hours (a week? Is that what you’re saying) of workstudy available for 1st year students. My D (a rising sophomore) was barely able to get 4 hours a week. There were plenty of offers to substitute for another student’s shift, but they didn’t fit into her schedule at all. </p>
