This doesn’t make any sense.They’re charging $28,500 for renting a room??? If you take that and divide that by 9 months of campus living that’s $3,166 A month!!!! You could get a 2 bedroom apartment in NYC for that amount!!! Even if food (board) is factored Into the cost that’s still an exorbitant amount. I live in DC, and as a single female I spend anywhere from $300-500 on groceries per month depending on how much I eat out. Renting a room that size in Manhattan should cost no more than $1,500 a month and that’s stretching it.
what kind of work do you have to do as an RA? also, am i able to be an RA for Kerry Hall if I previously lived in a different Dorm hall my first year? thanks!
hi!! there’s a lot of things you’re responsible for like having meetings with staff and students weekly, you’re also responsible for hosting programs for residents to attend a few times a month, as well as handle mediations and health and safety checks. (all of this was pre covid so i know things are slightly different now) but yes! when you are hired they assign you a dorm to work in and it isn’t based on where you lived before so you could potentially get placed there! -ken
Hey don't know if you are still responding to comments but how do the room numbers work? For example 2204A - do you know what residence hall and level this would be on?
Hiya! I’m going to go into grad school at parsons hopefully in fall 2023 and I want to be an RA as well! I wanted to ask how the application and the selection process is? And how many hours do you usually put in to being an RA per week? Also do you find it very manageable alongside your classes/schoolwork?
hi there!! i made an entirely separate video that goes into depth on the RA application process and commitment! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-jGAylML9iPU.html
hi there!! congratulations! everything in the dorms have to be hung by command strips so that they can be removed damage free. (my heavy opening miro i did drill into the wall but don’t recommend because they will charge you to fix it at the end of the semester) as for some big sister advice i say soak it all in it will go by so fast, take advantage of every opportunity, and do what’s best for yourself cause no one knows you better than yourself! i’m going to be putting out a lot of parsons related content after i graduate in a few weeks so stay on the look out for those :) -ken
hi there!! my suite in kerry hall has two singles and one double. singles are pretty much only available to RAs or students that need specific medical accommodations!! hope this helps -ken
