I really enjoyed being able to meet other students a lot faster while working as well as make some friends with the other student employees who are my coworkers. They were really helpful in learning information about different majors, how they view Kendall, where they go to eat, etc. Even small things like that are really beneficial when having a student employee job because even though I am from Southwest Michigan, I have never lived or been super familiar with navigating downtown. I learned my way through riding public transport, applying to colleges, and many other things and it was awesome that I am able to pass that onto other students as well.
What I wish was different
I don't have a lot of things that I wish would have been different. It was sad when coworkers would graduate and move onto other pathways, but it is also nice to have an opportunity to see someone possibly from your department graduate and continue in their lives.
Advice
Take advantage of Student Employment opportunities on campus, especially if you are not as familiar with workplaces in the area of your school, or you have free time as a freshman and want to learn more about the campus. Sometimes it can be difficult to find your way through a new school and I found that having a job in the offices at KCAD is very beneficial in learning about different majors, paperwork, student opportunities, etc.
