I liked that it taught me a lot about how a business starts up and why it fails and how you could keep growing it.
What I wish was different
I wish I had lived on campus or near campus so I didn't have to make the long commute.
Advice
Don't take the opportunity for granted. It teaches you a lot about how to work with groups, give positive and negative feedback and present your ideas in a concise and comprehensible way.

Mason Summer entrepreneurship Accelerator
June - August 2019 • Fairfax, VA
What I liked
I liked that the program was designed in a way that allowed me to apply what i learned in class out in the real world. Everyone was also very nice and supportive. I learned about how to write a business plan and find the target customer. How to conduct customer discovery interviews.
What I wish was different
I wish we didn't have long lectures but i understood it was necessary.
Advice
It is a great and intense program. But it is very impactful program for young entrepreneurs so if you get the chance, Do it! it is a once in a life time experience to learn from the best and network with successful entrepreneurs. The experience I got from this program opened up so many doors for me.

I wished that we have other resources that would take small startup company's and give those upcoming companies a start in the tech world.

Undergraduate Researcher
June 2018 • Fairfax, VA
What I liked
I actually worked through the OSCAR (Office of Student Scholarship, Creative Activities,
And Research) program! I enjoyed working with a multidiscplinary team, having the freedom to really design our study on Autonomous Vehicles.
What I wish was different
I wish it would have been more structured, it was sometimes unclear what was expected of us.
Advice
You get out what you put in. If you want, it can make you more of a self starter, more of a leader, and allow you to think more critically.
