The Residents

Question 1: a) Please indicate what attracted you to this post? What attracted me most about the position of a Resident Assistant was the opportunity to help other students with the difficulties of university life which I experienced myself. Although Edinburgh is not a large city, it was still difficult for me to adapt to this new lifestyle. Wouldn’t have it been for my Residents Assistants, it would have been far more challenging for me. Now that I am given the opportunity to do the same for new students is a chance I cannot resist. Furthermore, this position will allow me to develop my leadership, administrative and team-working skills, as well as to ensure that I stay at the heart of university life. I will acquire valuable experience, which…

On Tuesday, August, 23, 2016 at approximately 07:00 PM, resident Ung Gi Koh came and asked Resident Assistant (RA) Todd McKinney about a "awkward situation" of how to carry unique, and possibly embarrassing personal items over to University Gates Apartments. RA McKinney suggested putting it in his suitcase that resident Koh had lying on the floor. Resident Koh liked the idea and took RA McKinney 's idea. At approximately 7:15 PM, resident Koh returned from his journey with the suitcase and…

As a Resident Assistant, I can expect to be confronted with at least a few incidents on a given weekend night. Although these incidents are often unpredictable in the sense that no two incidents are entirely alike, there are some general assumptions I can make before confronting the incident. One of the strongest assumptions allows me to hypothesize the trajectory of the incident based on the genders of the individuals involved. Based on my experience as a Resident Assistant, incidents involving…

housing, gender-inclusive housing, and standard co-educational, non-thematic options. Regardless of a student’s housing selection, the student will live in a community that is maintained by Resident Assistants. Depending on the housing configuration, an on-campus student, referred to as a resident, will have either a Resident Assistant on her/his floor, or one Resident Assistant for the entire building. The role of a Resident Assistant at the University of Connecticut is…

would love to become a Resident Advisor. To help make campus housing fun and safe is the first reason. Students spend majority of their time in college inside the residence halls. I want to be able to show students that he/ or she can do more than just sleep here. RSA and other RA’s provide many fun events to the students and I would love to a part of planning those fun events. In addition, I would like to show students that he or she does not have to party or drink in order to have fun, but he…

More zombies, a flock of undead crows, and Alice (Milla Jovovich) the zombie killer soldier are back along with a group of survivors from Raccoon City for more in Resident Evil: Extinction, a 2007 action packed somewhat futuristic horror movie. It is the third movie in the Resident Evil series produced by Paul W.S. Anderson. Travelling across the Nevada desert trying to get to Alaska, these survivors never stay in one place for long for fear of being attacked by the walking dead. Resident Evil:…

Stanley Hauerwas and William H. Willimon use Resident Aliens: Life in the Christian Colony to argue that the church has been called on by God to be what they call a “unique colony” within today’s world, and not a social group who makes their decision based on society’s opinions. The authors chose to use the metaphor of a colony to symbolize that although the church is part of the state its first priority is God and his will, rather than the governments. The second metaphor the authors chose to…

and independence. Presiding in the learning community of Alvarez Hall forged me into the person I am today. Encountering a mixture of individuals with different sets of personalities and beliefs, allowed me to appreciate the culture and diversity the housing provides in order to cultivate the young minds of the future generation. The Resident Assistant position offers an exceptional opportunity to provide a direct impact to the students. In that manner, they serve as the role models and leaders…

program is beneficial. The strategy is to give the residents who cannot walk to the dining room independently, the chance to do so with help from the staff. The program not only allows for a natural dining experience for the resident, but it also provides a form of regular exercise for the ones who aren’t already participating in physical therapy or have been discharged from therapy. It gives the residents a form of physical activity while providing social interaction with other residents,…
