    The trade of universities is research. Anything else is diploma inflation and needs to stop.

      also university dont offer volunteering experience in most cases, or try to obfuscate it. the seats for lab work is so limited only a small number of people are even aware of it, plus i know that PI are extremely picky who they will let in thier labs.

        Must depend on the university. Research labs take a ton of undergraduate interns around here.

          ours is a state school, a commuter of sorts. maybe thats why, they have pretty much dont want to advertise thier labs to the students. some got mad even for asking them about lab work,1 got pissed even for asking them for references.(thats why there is significant blame on our school, or other state uni in my area, which is why they all suffered severe enrollment shortfalls)
