AI Thread Summary
Participating in a Research Experiences for Undergraduates (REU) program at an institution other than the one where a student is pursuing their degree is not only possible but is often the standard practice. The primary aim of REUs is to provide students with the opportunity to engage with new professors and research environments. Many institutions may even prioritize applicants from outside their own student body for their REU programs. While students can still collaborate with faculty at their own institution during the summer, these opportunities may not fall under the REU designation.

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 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.
