Personal comments
It is okay when you accept a less luxury live style. You can easily get in contact with other foreign students.

Personal comments
I went to a privat language school twice a week á 3 hours, beside the university. Hungarian is very difficult to learn, but at the end of the semester I felt I was quite good( have ofcourse forgot a lot by now).Most of the young educated people talked english, but in shops most of the people didn't speak English.
