Asking a professor from another school for research?

<p>Have any college students here asked a professor from another school for a research position before? I go to USC, but this summer I'm going back to New York. Thus, I might want to ask a professor from another school (maybe NYU, CUNY, etc) for a research position. Is it going to be hard to do so? Will the professors be willing to take students from other schools for their research projects?</p>

<p>Thank you!</p>
