R.A. Applications

          Ever wanted to become a Residence Assistant? Now is the time to apply!

          The CSULB Housing and Residential Services are taking R.A. applications up until Friday, March 25th at 5 p.m. All applicants must have lived in the residential halls for at least one year, must have at least a 2.5 GPA to apply, and must provide a personal statement detailing why he or she is qualified to be an R.A.

          The R.A. application process, however, can be a grueling one. Students interested in the position must attend one group interview to be considered for a personal interview. If selected, they have an individual interview with the residence coordinators and then wait several weeks to find out if they are offered a position.

          A few weeks of mandatory training occurs in the summer to prep the new R.A.'s for their position and to get to know their fellow R.A.'s as well.

          Is all this work really worth it? R.A.'s get free room and board, a single room to themselves, and money on their beachclub accounts to use on campus.
