Can I Participate in an REU at a Different Institution?

Hello!

Is it possible for me to do an REU at an institution other than my degree awarding institution? If so, is this encouraged?

Thank you!

That's generally how it's done...

That's the point of REUs - to study at a different school with a new professor. In fact, many schools won't consider their own students for their REU program - but you can still work with professors there over the summer, just not through the REU.
