Learning Communities for Freshmen Engineers: Advice

Colleges and Universities A-Z University of Michigan

<p>Looking for personal experience/comments on learning communities (LC) for freshman (male) engineers.</p>

<p>Options appear to be Lloyds Hall Scholar Program and Michigan Research Community. I know each offer a Residence Hall (LHSP = Looyds Hall; MRC = ? Mosher Jordan) - is this a real advantage/reason to be part of this LC?</p>

<p>Also, are there other advantages/disadvantages in MRC vs UROP? What about the Mentorship Program - is that a meaningful/useful experience?</p>

<p>Thanks for your comments.</p>

<p>I’m thinking of signing up for MRC so I can live in mojo. I want to do research anyways, but I’m choosing MRC over UROP for mojo. I guess advantages are that you get to live with a group of people all doing research, and you have a really good chance (if not 100%?) of living in mojo.</p>

<p>Yeah, I want to do MRC and I’m going into engineering. Do you guys know some of the types of engineering research that they do in MRC?</p>

<p>I actually think MRC pretty much the same as UROP (like they’re combined) except MRC all live in mojo. Not sure what research they do, I know there’s CS stuff though which is what I’m going to do.</p>
