<p>do you treat them the same as your friends? or you have to act all secretive around him/her?</p>
<p>mostly friends...my RA happens to be on my sports team, too. but there are just some things RA's do not want to find out since they'll have to write you up..so while our floor isn't very secretive you can't be completely open about some of the activities that occur..</p>
<p>My RAs are amazing people, I'm very glad to have them as friends, and am considering being one next year because of them.</p>
<p>My RA is a very concerned, interesting person. He really wants all the residents to find their place at the school and be happy and healthy. That being said, I think it is difficult to be friends with them because despite how much you may like them, they are still older and in a position of authority. It is good to get on well with them, but at the same time, you also have to remember that they have an obligation to do their job if they see anything that shouldn't be happening.</p>
<p>I don't have anything to be secretive about with my RA...I am friendly with them</p>
<p>Who?</p>
<p>Oh that's right. My RA is just someone who sends e-mails. </p>
<p>I'm not complaining though. I like it that way.</p>
<p>I never even see my RA. Maybe once or twice a month.</p>
<p>My RA is really cool and basically another friend, but of course we don't joke about keeping incense when she's around :)</p>
<p>On the one hand, my RA is pretty chill.. He doesn't write people up often. I see him at parties.</p>
<p>On the other hand, my RA is creepy online and hits on the girls on the floor. That makes me kind of uncomfortable so I try to avoid him.</p>
<p>my RA freshman year was someone I complained to my roommate about alot, but that was about it. Last year, I had 2 RA's (a boy and a girl, since I lived in a coed) and they were both great. Hope was a friend of a friend already (her ex and my ex used to be roommates) so we hung out alot. She told us she would only write us up if she saw us drinking in our room in front of her. She saw an empty vodka bottle in our room once and she was like, "technically I'm supposed to write you up for it, but... eh, whatever. obviously you ALREADY drank it, might not have actually been HERE when you did it..."
Heath was the guy RA, and he's really nice and also SUPER hot. He used to walk around shirtless all the time and it was great, but he was also really a good guy and would always listen when you talked and hung out with us in the dorm alot.</p>
<p>My RA seems okay. I don't see him very much, but when I do, for some reason he always sees me when I'm zoning out or something, so I don't notice when he says hi until ~5 seconds later. He probably thinks I'm really weird. </p>
<p>lol. :)</p>
<p>My RA is awesome, definitely one of the nicer people on the floor...</p>
<p>my RA is a grad student, shes nice but i guess cant really relate with girls 4 years younger than her. she encourages us to recycle. wrote me up once which i was ****ed about but eh its her job. two of the guy RAs in my building are really chill. one is just a nice guy and the other wont write kids up and smokes a hell of a lot. we call our RA momma ___(name)</p>
<p>We have two RAs. The male one is something of a bro and not a super-pleasant person, but he keeps out of our hair. The female one is this adorably neurotic sophomore who is incredibly sweet.</p>
<p>We don't get written up or anything punitive like that. But Abby does make people get off the balcony and out of the building when they're smoking, which everyone recognizes as completely legitimate. She also keeps an eye on anyone if they're really intoxicated. Unless there were some serious drug abuse problems around or issues related to community safety, I doubt that she would ever contact the administration.</p>
<p>I have 3 RA's in my dorm, and 2 of them are the standard type of RA whom I am secretive around just because I don't want to get in trouble for anything. They're extremely friendly and I have no problems, nor do I try to avoid them, but it's a formal relationship. My other RA is awesome, I joke around her and she even accompanied us to a party(which we later all got in trouble for). I feel much more personal towards her, but all 3 relationships are pleasant and I think that they all genuinely care about the safety and wellbeing of our dorm.</p>
