research opportunities are everywhere, but it’s up to you to look for them.

they’re not difficult to obtain, but it depends on where you’re looking. at the lab where i’m working, i had to hunt down my PI (i sent in a resume, interviewed, bugged him… LOL) since he usually only takes referrals from previous students. xD; but i got in eventually.

i wouldn’t worry too much. most aggies get some research experience before they leave.

HOWEVER, whether that’s USEFUL research experience or just grunt work is really up to whoever you work with. i’m actually running experiments and learning actual techniques; however, i’ve had friends tell me that their research consisted of watering plants (they were in a plant lab). : P
