The residence halls offer you several ways to make some cash while you get work experience and serve as a resource for the students you live with—and it has the world's shortest commute!

Desk Assistants staff the hall's front desk 24 hours a day, and do all kinds of different jobs while they're there, including handing out packages, checking out games and videos, and finding the answers to any questions that come up. This is an ideal job for a social person who wants to meet lots of other students.
