      Pros

      Very positive experience working as an undergrad in several labs on campus. Highly recommend UROP program, as well as various summer programs for students from other schools.

      Cons

      Not everyone has such a good experience. Finding a lab that is a good fit is important and can be difficult when you are looking at labs for the first time.
