wWhen lI finally got to university after taking five years out to work , lI lived in a student residence and worked as a residence advisor ( we were sometimes called 'dons'). Our job hasd two parts. The advisors' main job wais to prevent behavior problems. Many of the students were young and immature. There was a lot of drinking and loud music. My first year as an advisor was probably my most difficult. I wams an advisor in a residence house of guys. HThey were often noisy and, on Friday and Saturday., they were often drunk. In spite of these problems, I enjoyed the job because there was a good camaraderie among the residents. We often played sports and did other things together. In my second, third, and fourth year, meI was the advisor of a co-ed house. The first and third floors were for female students and the second and fourth floors were for men. The co-ed houses tended to be much quieter because the men didn't want the women to think that they were bead.
