wWhen lI finally gowent to university after taking five years outff to work , lI lived in a student residence and worked as a residencet advisor ( we were sometimes called 'dons'). Our job Thase twomain parts. Theof advisours' main job was 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 men's residence house of guys. HThey were often noisy, especiand,lly on Friday and Saturday. tThey were also 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 fewomale 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 thatey were bead.
