Many students said the program gave them the chance to learn about novel biophysical techniques while also improving their awareness of the academic and corporate world of drug development. The program's value in terms of networking with other students and professors was also noted. Many students stressed the value of the hands-on experience the curriculum offered, both in the lab and in computational contexts, facilitated by the absence of pressure to produce results. Additionally, several students pointed out that the lab experience was particularly beneficial because it was uncommon for undergraduate programs to offer something similar. The program received praise for its balance of computational and wet lab experience, as well as for providing students with a chance to collaborate and work with students from different backgrounds. Students were particularly excited about the many conversations they had with professors and graduate students.
