<p>Technically yes, but it’s probably harder for a freshman to get research opportunities because they haven’t had any classes yet (i.e. the basic knowledge to understand the research being done). Then again, if your D is coming in with a lot of AP credit, that might be ok.</p>

<p>My guess is around minimum wage upwards, so about $8-10 an hour (I get $10 an hour, but I’m in engineering research, and not many people get paid that much).</p>
<p>Most people in research during the school year probably work 10, maybe 15 hours a week. In the summer I guess you can go up to 40.</p>
<p>My roommate (a pre-med researcher) said that if your D is very interested in research, she should look into the “First Year Experiences” for a research opportunity, as it is unlikely that she would get one on her own without class experience (like I said above).</p>
