Personal comments
It was easy to find the room. There is a homepage alberlet.hu where students offer rooms, I think also the corvinus university helps students to find a flat. Moreover, housing is cheap in Budapest.

Personal comments
Be cautious with international bank transactions denominated in HUF, my home bank charged me 20EUR and also the receiving Hungarian Bank charged me 20EUR for a transaction of 40000HUF = 160EUR, do only EUR denominated transactions, then banks are not allowed to charge anything

Personal comments
At Corvinus the first week of the semester students can add and drop courses afer "trying them out", maybe this great idea should be explained more explicitly to Erasmus students, who are not familiar with the system.

Do the CEMS-program, then you get special treatment and support for everything (job search,etc.), Dean, studies director, staff care for your concerns very much.

It is a pity that the courses were held in English, I would have prefered to study in Hungarian, but the overwhelming majority of Erasmus students were not interested in Hungarian and so the courses were held in English.
