HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? You have the complete freedom to invite friends and at the same time a nice environment for studying. Also my housemates were great! I learned German and Italian thanks to them!
Personal comments:
Housing at the campus was possible but in Hungary conditions are very pour compared to Belgium. I went there sometimes to visit Hungarian friends and had great evenings together with them but personally I was happy to live in a flat with a German girl and an Italian guy. Very international! And always visitors from all over Europe.. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
Very interesting and a lot of work but I learned so much, not only about English Linguistics but also about Hungarian life and culture. I was the only exchange student and had a lot of contact with local communities. I also played theatre on the campus. It was just great! I am still missing it every day :-) and am looking forward to going there another time.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The quality of exams was too low compared to the level of the courses during the semester. I was disappointed after the exam period.. I put so much effort in it, which was not necessary if you look at it now. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

I studied Hungarian in Belgium before and took an Erasmus summer course in August in Hungary. It was a great experience! My courses were in English (as I am studying English linguistics) but as I was the only exchange student, Hungarian was the default language during breaks, in communication with professors, social encounters, etc. I took Hungarian evening courses three times a week and progressed very quickly! I am still writing emails with friends and am a member of a Hungarian group in Leuven. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
No I like to be surprised and take every day as such In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Very good academic staff and great study spirit. The students are so motivated you have really fun attending lectures and seminars. The only negative thing is that access to academic sources is quite pour. The library is rather empty and internet databases are not free for students as they are in Leuven. FINAL COMMENTS
Travel as much as you can! Night trains are a good way to save money. Prague, Bratislava, Vienna, Sarajevo,.. I visited them all with my German flatmate Maren. And now we're back home we visit each other and are planning more trips :-)! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
