<p>All the RA’s I know said they took the job for the reduced housing costs. They sometimes enjoy putting on dorm events/programs because they get to order a lot of food for the program, and since barely anybody shows up, they all get like a free pizza, a free 2 liter of soda, and a bag of chips to themselves to take back to their room and keep. Those of us attending programs also got to take like a box of cookies or a bag of chips back with us, because there was always SO much left over since honestly like 4 people show up to these things.</p>
<p>Some liked working the front desk because they could get homework done during that time, but those that didn’t have homework were really bored usually. I would often make conversation with them when walking by if they looked bored and I had nothing else to do.</p>
