I'm starting a fellowship at Northwestern this year, and they've offered to take me to Switzerland to work at CERN for the summer.

Anyone here been there? What's it like? Anything I should know about the food/accomodations/people/whatever?

Switzerland's a lovely place to be any time of the year :smile:

You'd be a fool not to snap up this opportunity!
