Community Assistants Make It Happen

Thank You for Your Interest in Becoming a Community Assistant!

The undergraduate apartments, Babcock Hall and Adams Tower West are home to approximately 1,800 sophomores, juniors, seniors and graduate students. With nearly 1,000 students living at the Gables, 400 students at Woodside, 180 students at Adams Tower West, and 180 students at Babcock Hall, our area is an exhilarating place to be. This is an exciting time for the Department of Housing, and we're glad you're interested in coming along for the ride!

One of the most common questions we get is: what is the difference between a Community Assistant (CA) and a Resident Assistant (RA)?  The quick answer is that RAs are part of the Department of Residential Life and are primarily focused on individual student development and CAs are part of the Department of Housing and are primarily focused on overall community development.  While there are subtle differences between the positions, it is important to know that the most important similarity is that CAs and RAs both share a common dedication to helping their residents have successful tenures here at UNH.

This web site is full of information about the Community Assistant (CA) program. Please take a few minutes to explore the profiles of past Community Assistants, read the complete Community Assistant job description and our community profiles.
