I was wondering if there is anybody who had a great experience in an undergraduate summer internship or a study abroad program that had to do with the field of physics? I'm starting my first year of college this year, so I will have a couple years to think about it before I do either of the two. My college that I am going to sponsors a lot of study abroad programs, but it doesn't seem like any of them involve physics (which, I suppose, is expected).

Any information would be great. Thanks.

I've been doing a study abroad program through UC Berkeley here in Berlin for the last year, but I'm a math student. I'll still be happy to try to answer any questions you might have though.

I am very realistic about it.

I will never get a job in this field and I will never be taken serious by "real"...
