  special place in my heart. In addition, TU Dresden is a renowned university of
  University of Excellence, it is one of the best in Germany for studying in the

• That inspires me:
  Chemistry, biology, dancing and the enthusiastic faces of the kids in my GTA
• MINT means to me:
  An amalgamation of different fields to be able to explore and explain the background of life together
• I was totally surprised in my first semester:
  How many people of all different ages are interested in the same topics and degree programs. And how irrelevant the actual attendance is for the knowledge relevant to the exam
• I would like to be able to answer these question(s) after my studies:
  How can complex biological structures arise from the simplest chemical building blocks? I am interested in how life can arise in such a coordinated way and how such processes can be understood and manipulated
• If you have a message for prospective and/or first-year students, what would it be?
  Talk to the others! It helps a lot to be in exchange with other students, whether it's about the content or the rooms or activities outside of your studies
