Res Life had the same feelings as Natalie: freshman just don't have the same level of experience as upperclassmen.<BR/><BR/>But, commuters ARE allowed to apply, even though they may have never lived in the halls.

At least a sophomore has had a year experiencing life in the res halls. Freshmen RA candidates should, in my opinion, not be qualified to be an RA after only one semester of res hall living. However, if only freshmen apply, then maybe they would be placed as an RA due to need of immediate occupancy for the positions. Any one else agree? Disagree?Natalie Tolomeohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07530223024647106251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8665370619184300191.post-75598926216353004492008-11-17T00:42:00.000-06:002008-11-17T00:42:00.000-06:00Quick update: there are now TWO RA positions to be...Quick update: there are now TWO RA positions to be filled so the selection process has been extended till next Friday. <BR/><BR/>Good luck to all those who apply!Suzy Hermanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10062328087456706931noreply@blogger.com
