DIRECT ANSWER

RAs are student peer advisors and educators who live in the halls, build community, assist residents and address policy issues.

UT describes Resident Assistants as full-time students serving in part-time peer-advisor and educator roles. RAs live in the halls, help residents, organize community activity, work after-hours/weekend duty and desk rotations, and address policy violations. They are often the first residence-life contact for roommate or community concerns.
