<p>Since no one would answer in the UMass page, I'll post it here. I'm an upcoming freshmen for '14 and my intended major is Political Science. As of now, I would like to be placed in Orchard Hill, or if not Northeast. I picked this due to my research indicating that these dorms are relatively more quiet compared to those of Southwest ( and some more). My problem is that I would love to join a RAP that involve my major, but none is being offered besides in Southwest. I would like not to be placed in Southwest ( too many negative factors for me), but at the same time I'm losing my RAP opportunity too. Am I correct, or is there any other RAP that's closely related to my major in Orchard? Can anyone help me describe the normal lifestyle for any of these RAPS?
<em>Side Note: I'm actually looking into the Society & Leadership RFYE theme, but I missed my SAT scores by a couple digits to qualify for honors even if my GPA was strong, since a lot of the RAPs are honor based</em></p>
