=== Singapore ===
At the [[National University of Singapore]], there are cluster leaders,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Be A Cluster Leader|url=https://nus.edu.sg/osa/student-life/student-leadership/residential-life-leaders/be-a-cluster-leader|access-date=2021-03-12|website=nus.edu.sg}}</ref> resident assistants,<ref>{{Cite web|title=Be A Resident Assistant|url=https://nus.edu.sg/osa/student-life/student-leadership/residential-life-leaders/resident-assistants|access-date=2021-03-12|website=nus.edu.sg}}</ref> and members of the Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC).<ref>{{Cite web|title=The Junior Common Room Committee (JCRC)|url=https://nus.edu.sg/osa/student-life/student-leadership/residential-life-leaders/the-junior-common-room-committee-(jcrc)|access-date=2021-03-12|website=nus.edu.sg}}</ref> Cluster leaders help keep students within their "cluster", which are students on their floor, safe and healthy. They work alongside resident assistants (RAs) to work towards creating a safe and inclusive community for students. RAs are given training in areas such as crisis management, event organization, CPR and AED training, and presentation skills. The JCRC is a student body council made up of elected undergraduate students to help plan events and make sure that students within the residence have a say in what happens around them. Within this committee, there are 9 to 11 potential positions for each residence hall.

=== Mexico ===
In Mexico, resident assistants are typically called "prefectos". The position has many of the same functions as in the USA, with a few exceptions including taking attendance every night at 11:30pm. The residence halls tend to be mainly of the same sex; therefore attendance is taken every night by a resident assistant to ensure opposite sex guests are no longer in the building.

=== United Kingdom ===
Positions similar to resident assistants are much rarer in the UK than the USA, reflecting British universities taking much less direct interest in their student's personal, social and sporting life than their American equivalents. It is more common to have a professional manager, supported by a team of student assistants, whose role focuses on duties covering security, fire and first-aid along with night/weekend reception. However, some UK universities do have a similar role to that of the resident assistant in the USA. These are often called "senior wardens", "student wardens" or "senior mentors". Such positions do not generally much focus on improvement of student life, and are instead more directed towards pastoral care of residents along with practical responsibilities. The positions are most often filled by graduate students or sometimes undergraduate students from their second year of study on.
