Customer Reviews

Just so-so

Some parts get a little cheeky when the author tries to relate to the student reader, but it provides a good, brief, overview of the responsibilities of an RA.

The Resident Assistant: working with college students

I used this book for an assignment in completing my masters degree in Student Development. I thought it was comprehensive and very informative, both for the RA and the residence life professional. A good blend of theory and practical pointers from understanding students to program planning. This would be a good resource for anyone wanting to work in a residence hall.

Wisdom for Residence Life

As a resident of a dormitory at a Christian Liberal arts school for the past four years, I have learned many things about residence life and student development. This book, however, expands upon experience of working in residence life. It is a well written book with much insight and guidance for either Hall Directors, Residence Life Coordinators, or student leaders who desire to know more about this particular field. I would highly recommend it to anyone pursuing such a career and would suggest it as a guide for any student development leadership program. It is easy to follow and is applicable across gender, religious, racial, and cultural fields. In summary, "The Resident Assistant - working with college students in residence halls" is the most practical book I have read in this particular field.
