<p>After reading several posts in this section, I am noticing that many people have been able to have some research and internship at local universities. I was wondering how everyone begins the actual process of initiating this research and how they contact universities for internships or research. </p>

<p>btw, I live very near to Princeton so if anyone knows any opportunities there can u plz tell me. Any information regarding this would be most appreciated.</p>

<p>Thanks!</p>

<p>I didn't do this in high school - I did research independently, but not at a university - but I would say, probably the same way you would in many colleges. You find a professor who is working on interesting stuff, and you contact them directly, explaining what you want. As a high schooler especially, you may end up working for free because the prof doesn't have extra money to pay you, but you will get research experience..</p>
