ILIKE THIS UNIVERCITY

As a private college counselor, I think when students work part-time during college it helps them to have a vested interest in their education. It is also a great source for gaining experience and leadership opportunities. If work-study is offered to a student as part of a financial aid packages, they definitely should accept it. Statistics show that students who work part-time usually have better grades.
