Is the RC worth it?

anpeju…outside of the language req., the RC requirments for the most part substitue LSA requirements. For example, for your 1st year writing requirement, you have to take an RC writing seminar instead of English 125 or something like that. You’ll have plenty flexibility to take classes outside of the RC, especially if you aren’t taking intensive language.

Faleene…I wouldn’t worry about the RC reputation. Its along the lines of “jocks are stupid”, and “honors kids are nerd”. By reputation, I’m talking about some of the more crazy things I’ve heard in my time on campus. For example, I’ve had one person ask me if it was true that we had orgies in the East Quad basement. Another person asked me if it was true that we regularly smoke pot with our professors. Of course none of these things are true…but that’s what I was referring too. Being in the RC isn’t like wearing a scarlet letter…most people are more fascinated by it.

Going back to the original question…there are about as many “losers” (whatever that means) in the RC as there are in any other community on campus, so don’t let that deter you.
