What Students Say...
I've learned that research is really about what one is interested in. I also realized that research doesn't have to be something exotic or foreign, it can be something from your everyday life that you so far haven't dedicated much interest to before. There are so many fascinating things around us that are worth exploring. Undergraduate research offers a wonderful opportunity to engage with these things.
