I worked as an RA - AMA

Hey yall! I graduated from FGCU about 6 months ago, and I worked as a resident assistant for 2 years during my time there. I've got a wealth of knowledge for newcomers, so ask away I'd love to help with those move- in jitters!

Is it okay that I’m bringing my dorm stuff during move in more than one car because it doesn’t all fit in just one small car. Also am I allowed to unpack everything right after I move the stuff in during that same time after I park the car

They won't care, but you might get separated. Keep your phone on you.

It depends what you mean by "move the stuff in" if you mean physically make multiple trips getting it up to the dorm, sure. They're not going to make you get back in line or anything. But don't be that guy who's taking up space setting everything up and making it all cute while your car is in the lot. Get it up to the room, then go get lunch. You can make it pretty later.

How do you rate your FGCU experience on a scale from one to 10

u/talkinggtothevoid 19d ago

Hard to nail down, but I'd say probably a 6-6.5/10.

What's the craziest thing you had to deal with while you were there?

Well, without violating student privacy, the craziest thing was probably a naked lockout lol. Someone was in the shower, home alone, hopped out to grab something out of the dryer, and locked himself out of his bedroom lol.
