If you really want to do undergraduate research definitely apply to both MRC and UROP. I was just in MRC this past year and it was by no means less social than any of the freshman dorms (it is substance free but that doesn’t really matter) I and several of my hall mates still went out 2-3 times week. Who ever told you that Mojo is mostly upperclassman was wrong, it houses two freshman MLC’s, the only sophomores are mentors for either of those two programs (and they party too).

You can still interact with a wide variety of people if you’re in MRC, being in an MLC in no way limits who you meet/hang out with. Both UROP and MRC have the same time commitment but MRC has better resources / you get to live in mojo.

The whole community sense of mojo comes from the fact that we all liked research (doesn’t mean we’re anti-social). We just enjoy contributing to knowledge and finding answers. We also enjoyed keeping up with each others’ projects

Feel free to PM me if you have any other questions but you need not worry about your concerns about MRC
