Course recommendations
Courses offered by the ISC (the institut for international students) are easier but the quality is quite worse than the quality of the courses offered by the "normal" faculties. IF you want to profit from the courses take those offered by the faculties. Hungary for intermediates are only offered to regular students, but if you ask them long enough they allow you to participate in that course as exchange student, too

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.

for the best cafe you should go to cha-cha-cha,it is an undergroundcafe next to the metrostation. In Budapest there are so many beautiful places to see, the palace,the fishersman bastion, the lights during the night. Even the university is a great place to see. It is a really beautiful city, I was proud to live there and come out of my appartment every day looking around how amazing it was.
