I worked college program for a year in culinary. I was paid reasonably well but they charged a TON for rent (since we all lived in dorms) and took it directly from your paycheck. I think I got charged roughly 150 a week to share a 3 bedroom with 5 other guys.
I got hired on full time, got a $4 an hour raise, paid 700 a month as my portion of a 3 way split 3 bedroom and would have been union with benefits if I made it a year. I left near that year point because I wanted to finish my degree.
Overall, the program wasn't awful. Made a lot of friends and it was a fun time having constant access to the parks, but they really did treat it like slave labor.
