Hey everyone,
  Well I just got one of the RA positions at my college and I start in a week!!! I am so nervous and truly scared. I mean I've haven't taken the mandatory class which shows you everything, so I'm like going into this with no experience. What do I do??? I was looking for websites online where other RA's go to look for ideas and post ideas and I didn't find any!!! Anyone an RA themselves??? or have any ideas for me??? Thanks

They wont even send you out with someone else? I'm sure someone will be able to fill you in some things! You shouldn't worry so much, it really isn't that hard. I've never been one myself but I have had a couple friends that have been and I am sure each school is a little different. Are you already living in student housing/ dorms?

Hey I was an RA in college and it was pretty easy.  I think that there was a whole of training in the summer, but myelf and a few other started after winter break and it was 2 hrs of training.  So you didnt miss to much, most of it for me was team building stuff.  Just relax and ask questions, because think of the personalities of most RAs they are there to help people, and that would in you.  They will also prolly go over most of what you have to during your first week again.  

For your hallway you should talk to the other RA in your hall if there is one, then see what the have planned.  

If not have meeting share some of your expectations and what you plan on doing in your hall.  ALso tell everyone to keep their door open so they get to know each other.  Plan a few meals together that first week, because there will be a ton of people who dont know anyone.  

Hope that helps it should get through it for a while
