| I know a lot of RAs--most love it, but some have said that it's had a negative impact on their grades/general time. One dropped an EC leadership position (president) midsemester due to lack of time, and one dropped RAship entirely because it was hurting his GPA more and more and making it hard for him to work for the campus broadcast station (journalism major). That said, there are definitely upsides--a friend of mine said RAship has not only saved her a ton of money for grad. school but also helped her decide her career path (she's applying for a masters in Higher Education and hopes to work in student life and programming after that).
Good luck to your D with her decision! |
