The Resident Associates (RAs) are Jacobs University PhD students or employees who live in the college amongst the students and under the same roof as the students. RAs do not only share the same concerns as the students but are affected by the same living conditions in the college. They are college staff and support the college office team with social and cultural events also help with security concerns in college. They are in a sense the deputies of the College Masters and assume the duties of the College Masters in their absence. The Resident Associates interact with students not only in a social capacity but are also there at a personal level.

The Resident Associates and the College Masters have a weekly on-duty rota, where they take it in turns  to check the safety of the building. The walk around the college, throughout the basements, closing all open doors and windows and checking if everything in the college is in order. They also play an active role in contributing to a positive social climate and better living conditions in the college. They take part in the college team meetings and if possible in floor-rep meetings, to be informed about college related activities and also offer support to them as well as offering events and/or planning and executing undertakings with students, which range from a sightseeing tours of Bremen, arts and craft evenings in the college office, baking events etc.
