The Residence Assistants (RAs) are fellow students who work closely with persons in their halls. The RDs and RAs have been selected on the basis of their spiritual commitment, leadership qualities, approachability, and willingness to serve.

ROOMMATES AND RESIDENCE HALLS
Your roommate can become a very important part of your life. He/she is not your maid or chauffeur, it is our hope that your roommate will become your friend.
Roommates share the enjoyment of living together. Compromises must be made that are fair to all parties. Sharing responsibilities will help keep relationships possible and growing. Remember, there is no such thing as a perfect roommate.
Every effort is made to assign your roommate(s) in accordance with your personal preference. You can request specific roommates by indicating their names on your application. (Make sure that person also indicates you!)
