How do on-campus jobs work?

I’m transferring to a 4-year university in the Fall of next year and I’ll be a full time student during the day. As a result, I have to quit my day job and find a part-time evening job. I thought all I had to choose from was serving or casheir jobs, but now I’m starting to think about on-campus jobs at the college.

I can’t go to their career center to look into their openings or talk to them until June, so I was hoping someone here has worked on-campus before and could tell me how it works exactly.

1. Do you get paid toward tuition, but not in cash like a work study or is that a totally different thing?

2. About how much do they pay per hour and how many hours do they usually work you?

3. During breaks and holidays when the college is closed, do you just not have any income. How can you afford bills when the college is closed?

I saw on the college website that there are many departments that hire students, so I’m sure everything varies, but any help is appreciated!
