How much does a Resident Assistant get paid?

• I'm debating applying for a Resident assistant position at my university. I know that they get paid and they pay for room and board. But I was wondering if anyone has an estimate of how much a paycheck would be in that position. Trying to decide if it's worth it or if I should look for a different job.

• Answer:

  It depends on the school. Some offer RAs free residency, and nothing further; some offer free residency plus a small stipend ($100-$200 per month). Again, it depends. Ask the school's housing authority directly; they should have a good answer for you. Let me offer a word of caution: free residency can be a significant benefit, especially if it's coupled with a stipend or salary, but keep in mind that the demands on your personal, non-school time are likely to be quite high. Make sure your adjudication skills are sharp, because you'll be called upon, repeatedly, and often at 1:00am, to settle disputes between two room-mates who suddenly decide they hate each other. Good luck!
