Here at ETSU as
a 2nd year RA I get 1299.00 dollars which
then you minus my room which we do get a private
room at semi-private rate at around 800 to

is taken off our tuition. |
| University of Memphis |

| Purdue University |
Our compensation
packages is one of the best that I have heard
about.We get room and board, tuition remission,
plus a monthly stipend.In all, I think it totals somewhere
around $8,000-$10,000 per year.All I really pay is about $700 per
year for technology fees, plus the cost of
my books. I'm an in-state student, however.I'm not sure if it is different for
out-of-state students. We also get a 10% discount
at two of the local bookstores. It
doesn't seem like a lot, but when you're buying
$400 worth of books, it adds up.I hope this helps you out:) |

College |
At

room and board.In freshman, sophomore and junior areas,
RAs get their own rooms (specialized rooms

two or three RAs living together in an apt.For example, there will be two RAs
living in an on-campus apt intended for four
people (each RA gets his/her own bedroom and
bathroom, and then shares a living room and
kitchen with another RA).RA compensation here comes in the form
of financial aid.This means that if you have grants/scholarships,
that money is decreased in order to make room
for the RA compensation.BC sees RA money as less money that
they have to give you from their financial
resources.There are about 6500 on-campus students
and 140 RAs.RAs in freshman areas have 12-60 residents
(usually around 40), and RAs in upperclassman
areas tend to have 60-70 residents each. |
