AI Thread Summary
Undergraduate students seeking research opportunities outside their home institution can pursue this option if a professor at another school is willing to accept them. However, several logistical challenges must be addressed, including insurance coverage during research activities, liability issues, and the potential for obtaining research credit from their home institution. Students are encouraged to explore these aspects thoroughly to ensure a smooth experience while gaining valuable research exposure.

can you get research credit somewhere else? etc.
