<p>How is it?
Would it be worth getting into freshman year?</p>
<p>It’s one of the best benefits of being an undergrad at UCI, especially since research is a necessity for getting into a good grad school.</p>
<p>Not only does it allow you to pair with a faculty adviser, but you can also receive grant money (up to 3000 per quarter) for your project if you apply for it. You can also have your project published in the UROP journal that’s produced every quarter (including summer).</p>
<p>The sooner you get involved with it the better.</p>
<p>would it be worth it if I’m going to be a psych and social behavior major?</p>
<p>oh and for the housing special interests hall, do I have to be in the UROP hall in order to participate?</p>
