<p>Its actually more difficult to have a social life as a RA because there is a set number of hours they are required to be in the dorms. I don’t know how many hours it was specifically but I remember it wasn’t a lot of time after classes. (But to be fair, you could be doing anything during those hours as long as you are available to students.) When it comes down to it, if you’re an RA, a lot of your social life will have to happen on your floor as opposed to say a frat house.</p>
