[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It takes time and is still early. RAs rarely are helpful for this. Some intramurals will have a list for those not coming in as a group. It’s worth asking. Look for the occasional volunteer opportunity too on campus. Next semester or next year, a small part time job with other students could help with connections too. [/quote]

Agree that RAs can not be relied on, as RAs have their own classwork to conduct. [/quote]

RAs are getting free room and board in exchange for their role, which I do think should include some effort to help students on the hall meet each other and socialize. I also think the college should require this of the RAs and give them suggested ways to do this (or maybe the college did and OP’s kid’s RA just isn’t doing their job). [/quote]

I don’t think it’s the RA’s responsibility.  There mostly there to make sure kids stay out of trouble, don’t break rules and as a resource if something goes wrong.[/quote]

It's supposed to be. At least in the beginning of the year. But, some are just duds.[/quote]
