Maybe someone else can comment at more length about this matter.

I think explorations theme floors are floors you apply to in order to be a part of the events and activities that will take place revolving around that theme throughout the year. My understanding is that the quality varies depending on the particular theme and floor. Some are better planned and implemented while others are rather “loose” with participation not necessarily strong by residents.

The Residential College seems to have many more organized activities for its residents who are likely to attend “Writing the Essay” in house with their dorm mates, besides engaging in community service projects, speaker programs and other ECs together. The community is very close knit as a whole compared to most Exploration theme floors.

OK, I got started and hope someone else will jump in with first hand experience.
