Have almost nothing in my bank account only to get offered a part time job. How do I try and convince them to make it full time?

I just got two competing job offers, and the one I prefer is a housekeeping position at a hotel. They pay 15 an hour, with around 25 hours a week. I’m currently saving up over the summer for some pretty big life expenses as a college student, so while the pay is fine, I really can’t work that little. They also offered me great benefits for when school starts again- I’d be able to do the front desk position as well in the evenings, and do some homework.

I got another job offer that pays the same but it’s night shift (so around 10:30-7am) and I would really prefer a daytime shift. I don’t know how to…

I don’t know how to negotiate and if it would even be possible to get 40 hours a week from them. They really want me but I need at least 40 hours. Also, for information, 40 hours/8 hours was listed on the ad so I kind of feel cheated.
