"I liked that the program was organized, along with supplemental lessons such as the German Language session, Hamburg musical history, linguistic practice, and scientific practices. It was interesting to learn the particle physics realm as a physics undergraduate, and the lecturers and organizers were also accommodating to their students in terms of the activities altogether."
