Residential Advisors on North Campus discuss their experiences as RA’s, motivations for applying and concerns over compensation.
As thousands of students were set to move into dorms in August, more than 50 residential advisers decided to go on strike, citing low pay and inadequate resources as their main sources of worry.
I’ve been told many times over the past year that I have a “Balch Vibe” and I don’t know how to take that. On one hand, I can interpret it as having the vibe of someone who grabs the patriarchy by the throat and kicks it in the balls (a vibrant visual). On the other hand, I can interpret it as fitting into all the negative stereotypes of living here: Just another prude, nerdy, radical feminist, who lives among the bugs. I don’t think I fit into the latter stereotype, but what do I know? I don’t see that in Balch so maybe I wouldn’t see it in myself either. I see the “Balch Vibe” as a sort of subtle anger.
