<p>What would it be like for a first year to live in this dorm? What is life in the IRC like?</p>
<p>And could you please tell what is the percent of first years in IRC?</p>
<p>I would say the IRC is a really great place to live. There’s lot of fun and outgoing people and you can really interact with a wide variety of people. </p>
<p>In terms of first years I think it’s like 25-40 percent. </p>
<p>Especially if you’re an international student you’ll have a good time.</p>
<p>Try to apply to Brown College, great alternative as it’s in the middle of the campus. You’ll meet all sorts of people and the application is fun :)</p>
<p>What do you need to do to apply to IRC? Is there an essay like to Brown?</p>
<p>Their website has an application…</p>
