Should students work while in University?

Many students, when they go college, see the campus as the place they go to attend a class, pass the exams, graduate and then get a well paid job. By looking at this perspective they can let a lot of incredible opportunities that they would only experience there pass them by. Because they don't see value in others things besides the a diploma, they decide to ocupy their free time by working to pay the fees, instead of getting a loan.

Life on the University Campus can be really rich if you let yourself enjoy all of it can provide. Since there are many kinds of programs, you can always attend a intro class that is not related with your field of study, and learn something completly new. Also, if you are a sports person (or athletic) you can always play and compete for your University. That are plenty of discussions groups about all kinds of subjects, music teams, and un-official classes provided by the students themselves, that you can attend, in order to learn something different, or you can teach. But if you really enjoy the accademic part, you can start your own research project, and publish articles while being a graduate student.

The problem is that if you spend your whole day attending classes, studying, or doing something else at the university, you don't have time to work and pay the expensive university fees. And many students don't want to end up with a big debt. But I believe that you should absolutely take a loan, and pay for that it after you finish your studies, otherwise your experience won't be complete.

If you don't want to be completely broke during your studies, you can always do something at the University to make some money, Like working in a library, or at the cafeteria, making doing paid researches, teaching something that you are good at, like a language or a subject that in which you really exceled. This will force you to stay even more longer at the campus, and make your college experience more complete.

This experience is only incredible because the people are as well. University students, profesors and employees, are very interesting people, and they are usually very different from each other, and even from yourself. They come from different places and have a unique background, so letting yourself getting to know these people it will make is worth your time worth.

Exchanging your ideas about something, with someone that not only has a different opinion, but also has a lot of information that you don't, can be very open minded mind-opening or liberating, and you shouldn't miss that because of money.
