Answer Example
"I understand that not everyone will feel like participating 100% of the time. If I noticed particular residents who were always opting out I would talk to them one on one. Perhaps it's a social anxiety issue or they feel swamped with homework. I would uncover the issue and help them out from there.We want everyone's college experience to be a positive one."
