<p>Am I? A couple of them sort of catch my eye, but I can’t find one that I love in a house that I love. Is it still a good idea? It seems like it would be a good way to have a “group” freshman year…any thoughts?</p>
<p>No, you're not. You'll make friends with your hallmates, doesn't matter what program surrounds you.</p>
<p>really? that helps. and I decided I want to be in Ware, and theres a Women in Science one... and I'm going to be doing Vagelos MLS so.. i think it might be good for me. plus I really want to live in Ware, and doesn't being in the residential program help you get in to the house you want to be in?</p>
<p>no. youre not missing out. mostly because every single person i know in a res program says that they don't do anything. people who apply usually don't even care about the program; they just applied as a back door entrance to the quad (a good strategy).</p>
<p>Is it really an advantage to apply to a residential prgram in a college house you want to get into? Or is it just the case for quad, since i assume it is very competitive among freshmen?</p>
