Personal assessment

KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The dormitories are too cramped and unhomely to live in for a whole year. I prefer the space, flexibility and comfort afforded by an apartment.
Personal comments:
The university provided accommodation is incredibly cheap and very well located. The downsides are that it is usually dirty and very cramped. You are almost certain to have to share with between one and three other people. I would certainly recommend moving into the university dormitories to begin with as this is a very good way to meet people, and then , if you prefer, finding an apartment.

Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.

The quality of courses is very variable. Those that are for just the international students (doing there whole degree here but in English) tend to be of a lower standard and those that are for Hungarians as well higher.

The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
Because accomodation and communication charges are very cheap in my country. I don't want to say it is expensive in Budapest. But I have to pay more here
Overall, Telephone, Housing: was more expensive than at home.
Food, Travel, Nightlife: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
Well, There are lot of ways, Try to go to Supermarkets which are just 15-30 mins from University. You can find lot of stuff from there for chaper price. The Hungarian government provides lot of benifits to students. Try to find what is available during first few weeks of your stay.
