This is my last semester living in the best room on campus, and with all of the sadness that comes with leaving the position, so too comes the gratefulness that I was ever an RA at all. It’s impossible to convince me there is a single better job to take as an Ithaca College student.

Growing up, my parents always lamented to me about their experiences living in the oldest residence hall on their college’s campus. This building was built in the 1960s, and has since been deemed too decrepit for student housing.
