You can have fun now. You can actually still be a partying RA but keep it quiet to the administration and stuff. I think it'd be good to try because it has tuition benefits.

Well, I knew my RA last year before she was my RA (her boyfriend and mine are friends) and she went out and partied some, not as much as me, but she did some. It's not like you have to be a sweet little angel with no social life to be an RA. My HD (hall director, he's over the 2 RA's) swears in front of us all the time, saying like "yall are grown ass men and women and I am not your momma so don't be pulling any bullshit and thinking I'm gonna baby your ass."

Being an RA IS a big responsibility, but it has plenty of perks. I'd go for it! Just make sure you have plenty of time, and don't mind staying behind during some breaks. (I know the RAs here have to stay behind a few days to make sure the rooms are ok and what not.)

RA"s are fine if you have nothing better to do then watch after people and do your homework. I worked in the office of res life at my college and the bosses treat the RA"s like shit. Sure you really don't have to pay for housing but i find it stressful especially from the RA's that I;m friends with.

I was an RA and I loved it. It really is a full time job though, and really, you are on call 24 hours a day 7 days a week, even when you aren't really "working" or on a shift. I was called when I was off-campus at my boyfriend house because there was drama with my residents drinking...so I came home. I'd gotten out of class and had a message on my voicemail saying that one of my residents had to go to the hospital for an asthma attack. I also had to host some residents from another building in my hall (I was happy to offer though) because they had a fire in their building. It was definitely a ton of fun, and it was a ton of work, but I enjoyed every minute of it.
