Resident Assistants (RA)
RAs or resident assistants are upper-class students who live in the residence halls. They help residents find connections across campus. Throughout the year, RAs host various opportunities such as floor programs, one-on-one conversations and community events. If you need help connecting or have questions about campus, talk to your RA.
Apply to Live in a Living-learning Community
Living-learning communities are special communities where students with shared interests and academic goals live together. Residents who are a part of these programs find it easier to build their community. To learn more about these programs, visit housing.vcu.edu/life-on-campus/llc/.
Join a Leadership Organization
Residents don’t even have to leave their hall to find an organization. VCU Residential Life and Housing offer residents the opportunity to join Community Councils, Residence Hall Association (RHA) and The National Residence Hall Honorary (NRHH).
