Central European University Budapest (CEU)

My comment would be to take the numerous opportunties offered by CEU to expand your horizon both academically and socially. A great place to network.

If you are in Budapest do not miss to se City as well as county side. Train is not expensive and privat accomodation is fine.

Since I'm a Transylvanian Hungarian (Transylvania being part of Romania), my first language is Hungarian, that's why I didn't have any problems with the language of the host-country, which is Hungary. My English seemed to have improved during my time at CEU but not because of the other students but because either of the academic work (lectures, working with texts) or some of the students (native speakers of English.) Unfortunately, most of the students at CEU have at best an upper-intermediate level of English which is further downgraded to some sort of Eastern-European pidgin-English when they interact among themselves (speakers of English as a second language).
