lol! Yes, we’re complete losers…avoid EQ at all costs. The RC’s reputation really does tickle me sometimes…

RC students are by and large pretty cool, but its certainly a differant environment than Markley or South Quad. People tend to be (in my opinion) more diverse and interesting, not to mention a bit more cultured than your average UM student.

Are the req’s overwhelming…that all depends. I’ll say this: if you aren’t interested in language study, don’t do the RC. If you take intensive, it is exactly that: intensive. It’s not a joke, but you really LEARN the language you are studying. If you don’t have a strong interest in learning a second language (in other words, if all you want to do is fufill the language requriement) you should probably not do the RC.

Is the RC worth it…absolutely. I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t have liked my 1st year academic experience without the RC, and I’d say its probably the best academic decision I’ve made here. You just need to go to the website and be sure it’s something you want to do.
