AI Thread Summary
Notre Dame's summer REU program has garnered mixed reviews, particularly regarding the quality of research experience. Participants emphasize that the experience largely depends on the adviser assigned, with some expressing disappointment in the lack of meaningful research opportunities. Concerns about the university's Catholic identity and its influence on campus life have been raised, especially by non-Catholic students. The living situation on campus is generally considered satisfactory, but individual experiences may vary. Overall, prospective students are encouraged to seek out specific adviser feedback to gauge potential research engagement.
