There's no better way to get the most out your Columbia tuition than to receive free housing and a lifetime of memories. While the responsibilities of freshman RAs might make them feel like parents sometimes, they also provide the opportunity for a wealth of entertainment.
Lingerie party:
The RA on duty knocks on the door to a suite with loud music blaring. A guy answers in only his boxers, opens the door to his room to prove he doesn’t have any (visible) alcohol—and six girls scantily clad in their bras and panties scream at the interruption and quickly rush to cover themselves in sheets.
Infamous:
A resident returns from a night on the town. After reports of his presence in the lobby quickly disseminate throughout the building, the RA for his floor feels obligated to check on him. On arrival in the lobby, the RA sees their resident covered in blood—that apparently doesn’t belong to him—and fighting with public safety. The resident then throws his shoe at the security guard, who he hits in the face. The next morning they wake up with a hospital bracelet on their wrist, but absolutely no recollection of the epic CAVA.
