<p>What exactly is the difference between the two?</p>
<p>MRC is residence hall related. UROP is not.</p>
<p>Are the opportunities in both programs the same?</p>
<p>They're different. I heard UROP is more time consuming. Also, in UROP you actually get to assist professors with their research. Not sure about MRC though.</p>
<p>Thank you!
Anyone else?</p>
<p>I thought MRC was just the residential version of UROP, but I have misunderstood.</p>
<p>You're not misunderstood. It is and I applied for it.</p>
