Apart from research, there are plenty of other jobs on campus:
* The environmental studies department provides positions for Caretakers in [[Hopkins Forest]], librarians in the CES library, and occasionally a gardner for the grounds around [[Kellog Kellogg House]].
*Both [http://wso.williams.edu/wiki/index.php/Sawyer_Library Sawyer] and [[Schow]] have student positions, although obviously fewer than during the school year. Library work is tedious, but pay is decent and it's all air conditioned.
*[http://oit.williams.edu/oit/ OIT] conducts the summer [http://cf.williams.edu/oit/wit/ Williams Instructional Technology (WIT)] program
Often students living in summer housing will have to purchase a meal plan; 5 is the smallest. Meal plans cost $5 per meal; i.e. the 5-meal plan is $50 per two week pay period (the cost is automatically deducted from your paycheck). Every summer there is some upset about the lack of [[Kitchens|kitchen]] facilities, as the school prioritizes summer conferences and allocates many of the dorms with the best resources to programs like Nike Tennis Camp.
Still, Williams students find a way to eke out their existence. People who want to cook for themselves can us the [[CES]] kitchen in [[Kellog Kellogg House]], the kitchen in [[Rice]], and, if open, the kitchen in whichever [[Greylock Quad|Greylock]] dorm is in student use.
One [[dining hall]] is open for student use over the summer, and [[Grab and Go]] provides their usual lunch options during the week. Dining halls are shared with [[Williamstown Theatre Festival]] staff as well as summer sports students. [[Dining Services]] has been known to try out new menu options over the summer.
