All of our student housing areas have one or more resident assistants. They are employed by SSN to be the link between our residents and us.
The resident assistant's tasks
Just like you, the resident assistant is a student and lives in student housing in the same area as you. But in addition to this, the resident assistant is employed to create well-being and ensure that the living environment is good in your student housing. In addition they have other tasks as well:
When you move in, the resident assistant is responsible for welcoming you and giving you information about the things you need to know as a newcomer.
The resident assistants is there to assist you as a resident with things that concern well-being, guide you in the event of disagreements and carry out simple practical work tasks. In conflicts/disagreements between residents, the resident assistants can contact SSN for assistance.
Takes the initiative for welfare measures in the residences, such as joint dinners, hikes, game nights, etc.

Outside of the janitors' working hours, you can contact the resident assistants if you need batteries for fire alarms, dorm doors with card readers or light bulbs for common areas.
If you have locked yourself out, you can contact your welfare host for lock-in between 15.00-21.00 (the service will be invoiced, see our Price list for current price).
