What does the future of AI-based technology hold? We’re doing a little experiment, specifically with the AI chat-bot, ChatGPT. This post is part of a series where we ask ChatGPT interesting, unusual, or just plain fun questions related to residence life and college student housing. All answers were generated by the AI. At the end of the series, we’ll share what we’ve learned and how you might use it as a tool in your work.
We Asked Chat GPT:

Behind Closed Doors: The RA Dilemma
In the cozy confines of a residence hall, behind closed doors, an RA finds themselves faced with a dilemma. It’s late at night, and the RA, Alex, receives a noise complaint from a resident in Room 212. The complaint alleges that a loud gathering is taking place, disrupting other residents’ sleep and violating quiet hours.
Taking the complaint seriously, Alex knocks on the door of Room 212. It swings open to reveal a small group of residents engaged in a lively game of charades, laughter filling the air. They greet Alex warmly, unaware of the disturbance they’re causing to others in the hall.
Feeling torn, Alex recognizes the importance of enforcing quiet hours and respecting the rights of other residents. However, Alex also understands the significance of fostering a sense of community and building positive relationships with residents. Balancing these considerations becomes the heart of the dilemma.
Alex decides to take a diplomatic approach, stepping into the room and engaging with the residents. Rather than reprimanding them immediately, Alex explains the noise complaint and the impact it has on fellow residents’ well-being. The residents express surprise and apologize for their oversight, explaining that they were caught up in the moment and didn’t realize how loud they were being.
With a delicate touch, Alex suggests alternative ways to continue their enjoyment without disturbing others. They propose relocating the game to a common area designated for social activities or reducing the volume to a level that is considerate of the quiet hours. The residents readily agree and appreciate Alex’s understanding approach.
In the end, a compromise is reached, with the residents relocating their game to a communal lounge nearby. As they gather their belongings and leave the room, they express gratitude to Alex for addressing the issue respectfully and maintaining a sense of community harmony.
Behind closed doors, Alex reflects on the experience, recognizing the challenges and rewards of being an RA. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of balancing enforcement and empathy, and the significance of building relationships while upholding community standards.
In the realm of residence life, behind closed doors, RAs navigate complex situations, seeking solutions that maintain a harmonious living environment and foster meaningful connections among residents.
