Moving day is not fun.
However, RA training can be a blast.
After a busy summer, which included working three jobs, Ivory has moved back to the dorms and is getting ready for her sophomore year. The good news is that, compared to last year’s dorm room, her new living space is bigger, better and has more storage.
First on the schedule was completing a week of resident assistant (RA) orientation with a few hundred other trainees. “It was exhausting,” she says.
As a resident assistant, Ivory will be supervising approximately 30 freshmen on her hall. That includes helping them to adjust to being away from home—for many of these students, it’s the first time in their lives they’ve been away from their families.
She’ll also be busy with work and, during the first semester, with studying for three psychology and one statistics class.
