I have to disagree with dadx3. You can get undergraduate research wherever you go. Yale is no exception. My freshman friend, majoring in Econ, got a research opp with the chemical engineering dept at Yale. My other friend, at Princeton, has a research opp at the Environmental institute there. I have been doing research at Swat this whole year. I would say the only distinction is that they will probably be working with the graduate students while I have been working directly with a professor. But the tradeoff is their research is more high-power and the departments are more well known.
