House sitting during breaks

For most students, a break from college means the dormitories will close and they are forced to leave for home or stay with a friend.
 
This is, however, not the only solution for housing during breaks.
 
In fact, house sitting is a particularly popular idea for college students not wanting to travel home because of issues with time or money. 

Where to start
A good website for students to look into is www.barefootstudent.com, which lists jobs and job seekers for college students in any given area.
It is a fair opportunity for students who need extra cash and is a helpful tool for finding someone to house sit, or any other services that a person could need.

Prof's perspective
“I think it would be great if there is a good relationship and knowledge between the student and the professor.”
— William Bianco, political science professor

Student’s view
“As long as the student is trustworthy, I would say it would be a good idea.”
­— Susan Williams, senior

“It is a great opportunity to bond with your professor.”
— Christine VanArsdall, Sophomore

Another look at it
According to www.suite101.com, house sitting is a great way to make money while still being able to do homework. This gives the student an opportunity to focus on other things while being responsible. In fact, it might be great for a student to note in a resume.
