What do the students think?
  • The REU at IU was an awesome adventure. Working with Stella for the summer was fantastic. All of the Professors made the time spent at IU a very educational and worthwhile experience. The greatness of the "Rock 'n' Roll Chart" that was made while observing on the 0.91m at Kitt Peak cannot be denied! The picnic at Link Observatory was also a great time that brought the Physics REU and the Astronomy REU together. The experience was topped off with a trip to the AAS meeting in Atlanta in January 2004. I would highly recommend attending IU for the summer REU to anyone who has a serious interest in stellar astronomy and is looking to have a great time!  -- Danny Gibbs - University of  Wyoming
  • Attending IU's REU program last summer was the highlight of my undergraduate career. I enjoyed working with Dr. Honeycutt with cataclysmic variables, as that type of research is not done at my own university. The best part of the experience was the observing trip to Kiitt Peak, as well as meeting new friends. The experience also taught me hands on data analysis and reduction, both of which better prepare me for graduate school. I am now more convinced than ever that graduate studies in astronomy is the best path for me. - Doug Hoffman
