Final comments
I would recommend Budapest for everyone as it is a lovely city that has changed very much since the end of the communist era. It is also still very cheap, although getting more expensive all the time. If possible get there before the fall semester starts and enjoy the summer in the outside bars and thermal baths!

I had all my courses in english and I spoke it quite well already before so basicly I didn't go to Budapest to study languages as it was also too short of a time to learn properly hungarian.
