Don’t rergret it. UROP is great. I was in the MRC which is basically the same thing minus the residence portion. I had work-study as part of my financial aid package so my project allowed me to make some money (which is always nice). I also got to know many distiguished faculty members on a personal level. As a freshman at UM, this is EXTREMELY rare. I was able to get letters of recommendations for internships for the following summer through these faculty members. It always looks nice to see the seal of UM and the title senior faculty researcher on a letter of recommendation! My suggestion: DO IT! If you find that you don’t have time, then don’t.
