Part time jobs are very much possible. Pretty much everyone here has a job of some kind. Your flight schedule is set a month in advance so plenty of notice to make your work schedule and you are able to trade schedules with someone if you can find someone willing to switch.
Housing you are basically on your own. They have a deal with an apartment complex nearby but it only gets you a lower application fee, no other benefits. Uptake of the offer has been basically zero for housing.
