General comments

'Best thing I've ever done, opened my mind completely - more so than 3 years of undergraduate study.'

'It's made me think a lot more contemplatively about my own research and its direction. The interaction with students from different disciplines and perspectives has been one of the most valued benefits.'

'Really useful experience and interesting - opened my eyes to new things.'

'Make the event longer. Example, for the environmental studies, going out to a field (trip) and taking a sample … would be an awesome full day.'

'Fantastic experience - gave me a great all-round overview to the ANSTO and AINSE programs.'

'Despite the lack of free time, I really believe the timetable could not be arranged any better! Seemed daunting at first -  but best for getting every ounce of energy out of us.'

'… the Winter School made me rethink my PhD interests. The problem now is finding the right project.'

Students found the involvement of AINSE Postgraduate students helpful

'The Postgrad students were AWESOME. Their talks were of interest and of use to one to see the applications of nuclear techniques. They were all very polite, friendly and helpful.'

In terms of AINSE staff and others involved

'The AINSE staff weren't help one inch! *Sarcasm* AS IF. Fantastic crew of busy beavers..'

And on the most important issue (the food)

'Awesome job guys! We were spoilt!'

'Catering was phenomenal; restaurant quality…' (Most loved the catering!)

And an overall comment

'Love, love, love. LOVED IT..'
