Summer REU Intern

June - August 2019 • Flagstaff, AZ

What I liked

The research that I was doing was very interesting and with leading members of the field. There were also weekly talks about current research that faculty were doing related to astronomy and planetary science. We also went on organized field trips to cool locations such as Meteor Crater, the Discovery Channel Telescope, and more. The location of Flagstaff was also very nice.

What I wish was different

I wish that the interns had a more centralized work space since we were all kind of scattered around. I also wish that our living spaces in the dorms there were closer together as not all of us were directly near each other.

Advice

Learn to budget your meals! The food costs were not covered, only travel and housing. So if you want to keep food costs down, learn to cook basic things.
