<p>Then, it sounds like UCL&ICL are just like many American research universities, where profs cannot afford to help Freshman&Sophomore to conduct their research. If this is true for many British universities, they will put me at a huge disadvantage in research experience, since I can only spend three years in the undergrad and have shorter time to do research. Like Pomona, Reed and many other LACs encourage research, and we can theoretically begin the research from Freshman year.</p>
<p>I actually knew precisely which LACs have Senior thesis req and which don’t. Your comment helped me a lot!</p>
