27、se a smart phone app to key in the amount they want to draw out ahead of time.

35、es around the country, most students are also workers.The reality of college can be pretty different from the images presented in movies and television. Instead of the students who wake up late, party all the time, and study only before exams, many colleges are full of students with pressing schedul

36、es of not just classes and activities, but real jobs, too.This isnt a temporary phenomenon. The share of working students has been on the rise since the 1970s, and one-fifth of students work year round.

37、l-time job. The arrangement can help pay for tuition (学费) and living costs, obviously.

And working full time can reduce the chance that students will graduate at all, by cutting into the time available for studying and attending classes.There is little reward for attending but not finishing college. Students who wind up leaving school because of difficulty in ma

41、naging work and class are likely to find themselves stuck in some of the same jobs they might have gotten if they hadnt gone at all.
