It is a time to work hard, but it is also a time to party hard to keep from going insane. Dorm life is exciting, for the most part, and the people who make it happen, the resident advisers, see to it that students enjoy their experience. He said Walton has a lot of ongoing programs during the semester that bring students out and help them have fun. It's a blast here at Walton. Misslin said that having his residents in on Thursday night not only lets them have fun, but protects them from the lure of underage drinking and keeps them out of trouble for at least one night.
Students usually go for programs that involve free food and are fun.
McDevitt said that, along with recreational and social programs, educational programs are also offered but are not met with the same amount of enthusiasm from residents. Mers said it is important to give students an incentive of sorts for all the hard work they put in studying. Any time I might be down or might be worried about something, my hall director or my RA are always there to help me out. Misslin said that many RAs are really involved even though it is not a requirement, and that is one of the reasons they became RAs. There is no reason for students to be bored in their dorm, so if they want to take a study break, there are numerous options on how to have fun.
