What exactly is the difference between the two?

MRC is residence hall related. UROP is not.

Are the opportunities in both programs the same?

They're different. I heard UROP is more time consuming. Also, in UROP you actually get to assist professors with their research. Not sure about MRC though.

I thought MRC was just the residential version of UROP, but I have misunderstood.

You're not misunderstood. It is and I applied for it.
