“It was the best idea to come to Germany and to study a semester here. I met really good friends and I learned a lot about international team work. Project principals are so friendly that one will hardly feel any problem in communicating and discussing any problems with them. What I liked the most is that we didn’t spend time just in the lab, we also travelled and hung out together. I hope this friendship will continue even if we are far away. I strongly recommend you to try EPS program, it will be a life changing experience for all!“
“Luckily I was wise enough to go on exchange to Osnabrück. I have been very fortunate to have the chance to work with the people that I have in my team. Since we are all from different countries we are all a bit different, which gives us a lot to learn from each other. We have been working great as a team with the right amount of seriousness and fun. One of the best things is that we also spend time together on our free time which takes us all closer together. I really hope that we all will meet each other after our time in Osnabrück has come to an end.“
