Work-study positions on the whole are supposed to be low-intensity (at least that was the theory at my university)…that is, they generally allow you downtime which you can use toward schoolwork etc. I was pretty lucky in that I wasn’t given much work to do in the office I worked in, so I was essentially just getting paid to catch up on schoolwork or surf the internet. On the other hand, I knew people who had to actually “work” at work. Mostly you’re just “free labor” for different departments, so how they utilize you will vary.
