It is so difficult to find a job on campus. When I first come to this university,I was told to go to human resource department to register, and then I went through the campus website to check the available positions regularly. First,I thought this was easy,but after that I found that was harder than I thought. every time I went to human resource department to ask the staff whether there were any available positions open to our regular students,the answer was "no".On the contrary, there were many positions open to work-study students,yet it seemed that not many work-study students apply for these campus jobs,the amount of campus job availoble for work study students and regular students is not balanced.I do not know why they close the door to international students. International student are new to this place and culture.We have to learn everything such as the native language,native culture and native people. We not only learn these things through ESL ,but also throungh their real world working environment.So a campus job is the best way to learn American working style and culture. How can you believe only one or two hours class can let us speak a new language.But in a campus job,we have many opportunities to deal with American co-workers,learning their native style and culture,that is another good experience. It shows the equality in this great country. The school admit us to learn American knowledge,but why not give us more opportunity to learn their native culture through campus job.Sometimes I feel so frustration because I have looked for the job for one year but still find nothing. I want to complain this unequal policy. Why not transfer some work-study jobs to regular student, and change this rude policy.I suppose this is to bad ,and it will leave bad impress to international students. I hope this school can reconsider this policy and give more attention to international students in the future!

Hi Li,
I agree with you 100%! International students should be allowed to work on-campus . Everyone would benefit.. The school needs hard working and very skilled employees and the students need the experience and exposure to the culture and language. Good point!
