I worked about 15-20 hours a week in one of the campus bookstores. My mom and dad agreed to pay for the sorority housing part because it was comparable to the dorms, but they told me I had to pay for all social dues.
I really enjoyed working there. I worked in the clothing department part of the store, so I was able to interact with people of all ages - students, alums, local folks - you name it, they were there. I also got 30 percent off all non-textbook related items, and 10 percent off my textbooks. It saved me quite a bit of money in the long run - especially with the textbook savings.
Most importantly, though, working taught me how to manage my time effectively.
