<p>I am a transfer student who starts at UMich Fall 2011 and i am considering the UROP community college summer fellowship program this summer. I know the deadline is April 1st for applications. I live outside of 60 miles from Ann Arbor, so they say they will cover housing…does that come out of my stipend research payment. will food be covered? I will be contacting them about it but wanted to see if anyone with personal experience could tell me what they thought about it.</p>

<p>Has anyone experienced UROP?? </p>

<p>thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Worked for UROP before but not through this specific program:</p>

<p>[Undergraduate</a> Research Opportunity Program | The University of Michigan](<a href=“http://www.lsa.umich.edu/urop/summer/fellowship/communitycollegefellowship]Undergraduate”>http://www.lsa.umich.edu/urop/summer/fellowship/communitycollegefellowship)</p>

<p>They’ll probably cover housing, but only for 10-12 weeks for research. Confirm with the UROP office. Food will not be covered. </p>

<p>The UROP experience differs from person to person. It kindof has to do with whether or not you can find a good professor [really look into the list of profs and talk a lot during interviews] to work with and simply if you find your work fun and challenging. I personally had a lot of fun and learned a lot.</p>
