Hello,my name is Judith. Thank you for this opportunity to answer your questions.

After one year of studies you can apply for up to 20 hours of on-campus employment and get permission from your international office for this work.

You cannot get a work permit unless you can show that your parents financial circumstances changed from the time they agreed to support your studies. They have to show their income statements to prove they make less money now and because of that you need a work permit. It does not sound like that is the situation for you but that you are finding out now how expensive it is to live here and need more money. That will not be a reason to get a work permit for off campus.
