Roommate is an RA

<p>So I'm going into my freshman year and living on campus. The dorm I will be in is a 4 person single-occupancy dorm. I recently found out that one of my roommates is an RA. Will this benefit me or be a total bummer? I'm no druggie or party animal, but I am a little worried that having an RA in my dorm will be quite restrictive.</p>

<p>I dont think that you’ll face much problems if you are not a drugie or addicted to alcohol etcc… RA’s are students too and I am sure they like having fun too… Dont worry, u’ll be fine :)</p>

<p>Won’t really be a problem. Does depend on the RA though (like anything if its a person you don’t get along well with it can be a problem). I wouldn’t worry about it. Just don’t do anything crazy in a public area of the dorm where you will have to be written up and you will be fine (even then, unless they boot you out or you get a ticket its pretty meaningless).</p>

<p>Depends on the RA, but the RAs I knew were some of the most fun people to hang out with. Don’t worry about it. It’ll be fine.</p>

<p>Wow, your school makes RAs have roommates? One of the perks of being an RA is supposed to be a single.</p>

<p>Anyway, RAs are normal students. I was an RA in college and there were certain things I chose to turn away from, as long as they weren’t disruptive. I supervised RAs for two years as a grad student, and I also know that there are certain things my RAs either overlooked or didn’t notice. As long as you aren’t breaking any policies you shouldn’t worry!</p>
