So far, it seems like the RC allows for a "small liberal arts college" atmosphere amongst a huge university. I have several questions about the RC program.

Besides having the advantages of being small, what are the benifits of participating in the RC program?

Do people in the RC still interact with other students not in RC?

thanks

One of the main reasons I was attracted to the RC is its strong focus on foreign language. I also like the idea of living with others who have similar interests as me and having a chance to explore the arts more. I don't have a definite career in mind, but since I am very interested in the arts and humanities, I think the RC will be a good experience for me and will help me narrow down my career interests. Just my two cents. :D

first off, i bet living communities, such as rc make michigan a more smaller and comfortable place in the beginning, especially if that's what you're looking for. additionally, if you interested in what they offer, you'll be surrounded by students who share similar interests as you, which is obviously a plus.

but, i heard that rc students live in east quad and people outside of rc don't like them. this is what a handful of people told me who go michigan ~ all sorts of students, business, engineering, lsa, etc. basically, i guess there's not tons of interaction between rc and non-rc students - you have to make an extra effort.

however, if rc is what you want to do, then go ahead, knock youself out. it seems like a decent program.
