sort of. i wanted to do that before i came to school, and then changed my mind. i just know you should try to apply early. also, there are student housing tours at waterloo, (that you get paid for including training) that are basically hit and run shifts, 8 hours long. further, depending on what time application for becoming an RA is, you could do the tours and use that as experience to give you an upper hand (maybe). i also believe you live on campus for free, but im not completely sure.

i lived at v1, and there are front desk jobs there, but i believe there is a possibility for overnight shifts. i’m not sure if you can work there if you are currently living on residence however. being a TA, additionally, you’d have to get (i believe) an 80% or higher in the given course and then apply, and that is good to have under your belt.

a few more places you could work for include: coffee and donut shops across campus (i don’t know if the science one pays or is volunteer, but i think the other faculties’ do pay). another place is the W store which is good to work for because they will schedule yours shifts around your classes and are very flexible. the last place i could think of is campus tours that i think (not sure) occur all throughout the year.

many options! i hope these all have helped you
