University Hedge Fund Experience?

hi, I’m a senior matriculating to a low target uni(think Ross, Notre Dame, Stern,Cornell) and I’ve noticed that some of the students were able to land analyst positions at their university’s respective hedge funds, I was wondering if anyone on this forum has had any experience working directly under their school’s fund in undergrad and if so, what the value of the experience was.
