      I work as a Resident Assistant at Boston University. The job pays for my room/board, and meal plan. It's a great place!

      Pros

      Working as an RA is an excellent opportunity. Because the hiring process is so strict, you are only working with people who share your values. Teamwork is very important in this job, but it's fun because your co-workers are all high quality employees.

      Cons

      It can be difficult to toe the line between being a friend to your residents, and being the enforcer of rules. But the training that you receive at the beginning is so comprehensive that I didn't have any trouble
