<p>ilovecollege: yes there are lots of labs, and Durham is the "City of Medicine" you know. I don't have any personal stories about research yet though, as I'm only a freshman. But I do know that if you want to do it, you can, and we have plenty of mentors and new, top notch research labs. Sorry, that's all i know... for now.</p>
<p>celebrian: i know what you mean, i'm from the northeast and snow is nice. but remember, you'll get to go home for most of december and like half of january, prime snow and ice months.</p>
