MIT UROPs can be paid or for credit, yes, but listen, getting one as a first-year from here involves a mad scramble—you write emails until your fingers ache. But I quit mine after a term because the pressure to prove myself felt heavier than a sack of rice, and I came home to my father’s tea stall. Now, folding momos, I see my own son learn the pleats without that terrible fear of falling behind, and I know I traded one kind of study for another.
