Residential Assistants (RAs)
The Residential Assistant RA should be the first person you talk to if you have a problem. RAs are senior students that live and work (part-time) in the College. The RA role is to help with College life and ensure that you have a home away from home.
We also like our RAs to be former residents of City College.
