Do graduate students overshadow the undergrads?

@hopingforbetter, wow thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed answer! The experience you’ve had with research sounds amazing, but it’s also clear you’re not a typical student (in general). I went to an engineering school and taking over 18 credit hours is crazy hard! Not to mention double major in EE and ChE. I’m glad not all the students are quite that hard-driving.

I’m a bit leery that the paid undergrad research seems to be in decline. But a lot seems good from what I’ve read that D and I will have to think further.

Yep, D has gotten a lot of cheers from people for being a STEM girl. That 70/30 divide is very common at the tech schools where she’s looking. It was 75/25 when I went so at least things are getting better. Albeit S l o w l y

I am jealous of your long stay in Denmark. I do a lot of genealogy work and would love to visit the land of my ancestors – hope you have a great time!
