Abdinuur-I did that summer research at my Uni (2003) and was the best college experience ever! Oh I can't believe how much fun I had that summer, met many students from all over the country and outside, and got connections for my post-grad contacts.

 

I even recommended to several and they praised it well as well-and will recommend the program to others as well.

 

Not only do they assist with the research process-but they as well aid in graduate application(even pay for your prospective grad school fee)-fee waiver.
