2023-2024 Resident Assistants in Graduate & Family Housing

Position Overview

Resident Assistants in Graduate and Family Housing (RAs) form the face and voice of Residence Life at Rutgers. As such all RAs must be committed to our mission. RAs are expected to serve as role models on campus, exhibit the ability to be effective listeners and excellent resources, and to show ethical behavior at all times.

Resident Assistants in Graduate and Family Housing are students enrolled full-time in a graduate program at Rutgers University-New Brunswick. The students in this role will live in communities serving graduate students in apartment-style living. The RA will receive their own room in an apartment with other graduate students. These unique communities also house undergraduate students with families, non-traditional undergraduate students, and international students. Below are the locations in which these communities may be found:

Busch Campus

  • Buell Apartments
  • Johnson Apartments
  • Marvin Apartments (Family Housing)
  • Nichols Apartments (Family Housing)
Cook Campus

  • Starkey Apartments

Livingston Campus

  • Livingston Apartments A

Due to the unique nature of the position of the RAs, work cannot easily be translated into hours per week. The RA job requires both regularly scheduled responsibilities and times during which RAs are available and accessible to community residents. RAs are expected to be reasonably available and willing to work during emergencies and other unexpected events for which Residence Life support is needed.
