"People in charge of organizing the summer school they are all quite welcoming. There wasn't anything really to worry us about. We didn't have to feel homesick at all. I liked this about the summer school. I finally got to learn something that we don't do at our university. Certain aspects of the studies that I didn'd like back home before coming, I actually enjoyed. Some of my friends were like truely jealous about the fact that I can come. And I am like they should definitely come next year if they can."
"I didn't really have any specific expectations coming to this school but I think even if I did they would have surpassed them all. I mean just the amount of effort and time all the oganizers put in to make you feel comfortable and at home from the beginning is amazing. I actually study Laser Physics so I didn't really have a lot of knowledge about the topics that would be coming. But I still learned so much and all the lecturers and speakers are really open to discussions and questions which is great. It's a really full-rounded program, not only academically but also culturally. It is just a lot of fun and the month flew by."
"I am really happy that I did this program 'cause it was a nice opportunity to meet other students from around the world. And it also provided a nice introduction to String Theory and Particle Theory which I wouldn't get to learn till a little later."
"I got to spend four beautiful weeks in this city with oher students from eleven different nationalities. We also had a lot of extra curricular activities. We had a day trip to Lübeck, a day trip to Berlin, classes on German culture and German language. For me it was the whole experience. Learning about German culture together with very strong physics education."
