I am going to be doing one at the University of Texas, and I start in just a few days. Anyone else working anywhere this summer?

Thanks.
An REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) is a summer program funded by the National Science Foundation that allows undergraduate students to participate in research experiences at universities and research institutions across the United States.
Most REU programs are open to undergraduate students who are US citizens or permanent residents. Some programs may have additional eligibility criteria, such as specific majors or year in school, so it is important to check the program's requirements before applying.
To apply for an REU program, you will typically need to submit an application form, transcripts, letters of recommendation, and a personal statement. Some programs may also require a research proposal or specific project interests. Each program will have its own application process and deadlines, so it is important to carefully review the program's website for instructions.
Most REU programs provide a stipend for participants, which can vary depending on the program and location. In addition to the stipend, most programs also cover housing, meals, and travel expenses. Some programs may also offer academic credit or funding for follow-up research opportunities.
An REU program typically involves working on a research project under the guidance of a mentor or research team. Participants will have the opportunity to gain hands-on research experience, attend seminars and workshops, and present their findings at the end of the program. REU programs also provide valuable networking opportunities and a chance to explore potential graduate school or career paths.
