I am very interested in conducting research while I am at Michigan, and thus have been considering applying to either the MRC or UROP. MRC intrigues me, however I am worried that it will not be as social as a regular dorm. I am focused on academics, however I still like to go out and party on the weekends and would like to be around (at least some) outgoing people. Additionally, I have heard that except for the MRC, pretty much all of Mosher-Jordan is upperclassmen – which concerns me somewhat. Does anyone know what the social scene in the MRC is like? Also, is there any significant difference between being in the MRC and just being in UROP besides the residential component? Any insight would be appreciated, thanks!
