Victor San José Arranz

Hi, this is Víctor San José. I studied Physics at Valladolid University. I was an Erasmus student in Catania from September 2016 to July 2017 when I was in my last year's degree. This year was especially meaningful to me. Apart from the great people I met, the new friendships I made, and all of the experiences I lived there. It was the first time I had a chance to speak a language different from my mother tongue. That prompted me to learn more languages and be self-confident in new environments in the following years. The University of Catania is a great institution, they treated me superbly. I enjoyed quite a lot of the lectures in Analytical mechanics and Numerical methods of physics, I found that it was a cool approach. During my stay in Catania, I also had the great opportunity to join a soccer team, hitchhike a couple of weeks through Sicily, see Mount Etna spitting lava. And of course, enjoy Italian food! In short, going there was the best decision I've ever made.
