Being in the city, learned about computer science research process, worked somewhat with others in a team environment, learned machine learning tools, Columbia is beautiful
What I wish was different
I did not have a predefined project going in and I had to figure it all out on my own which was cool in some ways but a little intimidated and I wish I had more guidance.
Advice
Realize that as an undergraduate your role in a major research lab is limited but you can still learn a lot.
