UNDERC East Student

May - July 2018 • Land O' Lakes, WI

What I liked

I loved how this experience provided a class portion as well as an opportunity for an independent research project. Ten weeks flew by spending time with a diverse group of students interested in environmental science. This was great after my second year of school getting more experience in my future field and giving me new knowledge I could apply in later classes. A lot of great history exists on Notre Dame's property, and the Northwoods is a beautiful place to be during the summer.

What I wish was different

Grades for the four class modules came in slowly, and things to do in free time off of the property was limited in the Northwoods. Also, the mosquitoes were INSANE.

Advice

I would advise 2nd and 3rd year students to get their feet wet and enjoy this class and field experience with like minded students!
