<p>on the application there is a question about whether or not i want to apply to the residential college. im not exactly sure what that is, could someone tell me? if i plan to major in econ and math, should i apply? thanks!</p>
<p>The RC is basically a living learning option that I believe is based around the arts and humanities. I'm almost positive there is a foreign language requirement. It is probably not a good fit for someone more interested in mathematics.</p>
<p>alright, thanks!</p>
<p>au contraire. My girlfriend is an astrophysics concentrator and she's in the RC just like I am.</p>
<p>People who sign up for the RC are generally interested in humanities type stuff (creative writing poetry etc) or the environment of East Quad, which is guarenteed if you are in. EQ is BY FAR the best place to be a freshman. The sense of community here if unbelievable. Its nice to not have to go all the way across campus to find cool people (which is what you have to do if your in Stockwell or Markely..eww).</p>
