[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Respectfully disagree with getting a job freshman year if you can afford not to. Rising DD is working like crazy this summer (full time job plus lots of babysitting and dog walking) to avoid that. She's off to Michigan and we are encouraging her to eat in the dining hall but anticipate she will have fun going out and expenses with rush in the winter (and those costs are all on her). Midwest isn't the big city but $500 a month seems likely.[/quote]

Some work can be good for a student: "the academic performance (greater hours studied and higher grades) of students who worked 10-19 hours per week was superior to all other students, working and non- working. We suggest that the increase in performance is due to an optimal work-college balance that establishes structure and discipline not achieved by working too few or too many hours."

Original poster here - totally agree and I'm sure she'll work after this year as her dad and I did. Just hoping to avoid it during the first transitional year.[/quote]
