ABSTRACT

My name is Joe and I'm from the Midwestern plain states. I've been an RA at "Windy University" for three years now. WU is a state school where most everyone who applies is accepted. Most ofour students come here from within the state. Although it isn't that hard to get admitted, it is highly thought of in the state to go here. Almost every family in the state who has a college graduate in the house has a family member who went here. There are basically only two schools people go to in this state: here, and Tech. It has been said that ifa WU alum marries an alumni from Tech it is a "mixed marriage." Football is our state's main pastime; and we aren't shy about getting a little physical on the field. About a third of our students live on campus in the residence halls. The rest live in the fraternities and sororities and in nearby houses and apartments. My first year on staffwas definitely the toughest. My residents were cool and all, but they tended to take things a little too seriously and were a little over the top.
