"I learned an unbelievable amount of things in so many different areas. I learned so much about research, which is going to help me not only in my senior year of college but far beyond, and I learned many pros and cons about grad school in general and Yale in particular that I don't think I would have learned otherwise. Beyond that, I learned a lot about myself, such as the fact that I can in fact live in a new city by myself and not starve."

" I would say this was one of the most worthwhile things I've ever done with a summer, and I am just really grateful that I've had the opportunity to be here and experience everything I have. I'm definitely a better and more educated person for my time here. It's an immeasurably valuable experience from which all students could benefit."

"I really liked working with interns from different schools, I feel I learned more that way."

"I learned a lot this summer regarding graduate school, doing hands on research, and working in this type of enviornment. I hadn't previously worked in a lab environment so this is an experience that will greatly help me in the future."

"Working with the grad students on such an intimate level was very educational, because I got to see the real nuts and bolts of research, from the thrill of getting a new idea to the frustration of realizing that a method doesn't work and having to start from scratch. It was a real eye-opener in terms of what is really involved in graduate work, and I feel like I got a taste of graduate school that most people aren't lucky enough to experience until they are actually in it themselves."

"Lots of personal attention, good work environment (friendly people, cooperative rather than competitive), opportunity to speak candidly with graduate students about graduate school, learning more about project design, experiencing a different lab environment, and the list goes on."
