Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program

My son received an e-mail advised he was accepted into the Undergraduate Research and Academic Engagement , Undergraduate Research Opportunity Program (UROP) for 2015 -2016 . It looks very interesting, but I’d like any feedback anyone has from experience. In particular, he’d like to rush a frat first semester. Is this taking on too much?

My son was accepted to UROP as well, would be interested in any comments.
