My study experience was accompanied with several ups and downs. On one hand, I got the chance to learn about several natural phenomena and be able to participate in some laboratory research experiments. On the other hand, it was more academia and theoretical instead of having more physical opportunities for internships.

it was a fun experience that made me very well informed
