I was an RA for my dorm for a year. I loved it! Ever since I visited the college and met an RA I knew that that was something that I wanted to do. It was a bit of work, but I took away some great stories, fantastic memories, and great friends. I'd really recommend it to anyone who is interested.

Resident Advisor. It's basically the person who is support to enforce the rules in the dorm.

It really depends on the college and where you're placed. I have had friends who have enjoyed it and some who didn't. It definitly is a good way to socialize and get to know more people.

I've never been an RA and nor do I ever want to be one but they put a lot of work into and have to deal with all this shit.

I think it depends quite a bit. Every RA I know did it for the free room, since it is otherwise damn costly. In my experience, those whose parents cover their college costs are almost never RAs, because it is extra work, with no real benefit to them personally. Some RAs are reasonably involved, and do a good job. I even know one who'll give her homework to her kids if they take any of the same classes. On the flipside, there are others that probably wouldn't notice if you were suffering from toxic shock in the middle of the floor's common area. It is what you make of it, and usually the requirements are minimal, and their enforcement even less.
