[nabs-l] Resident Advisor Experiences

[sarah.jevnikar at utoronto.ca]

Wow I'm so silly - I'd heard of RA's before but didn't know that's  
what the accronym stood for. I know a few people who were RA's.  
They're sighted but can at least weigh in on things to expect. I'll  
see if they have any suggestions.
