Overall

I wish I had known...

I wish I had known sooner how much fun I would have because then I would have tried to go to Pecs for the whole year instead of one semester.

In my opinion:

Everybody loved it, you will too!

Final comments

Make sure to plan your trips a couple of days in advance because transportation many times dictates when you can or cannot go and how long you have to visit wherever you desire to go.

My favourite night spot was Rák. The Elephant served the best pizzas (but there ARE cheaper places where to eat too!). The view from the tv-tower is definately worth checking! There are also many interesting looking houses on the mountain if you like to have some exercise climbing those hills ;-)

“Faculty of Music and Visual Arts: Some great lecturers but courses without competitive substance.”

Álmos T

Hungary, Masters
Music and Musicology, 2023

Overall

Courses: Big Variety of courses, but some are lacking in competitive content especially for foreign students.

Teachers: Usually friendly and professional, but have too little compensation for the work they do, so usually they work in more than one job to get by, consequently the enthusiasm and energy is lacking sometimes.

Administration: Usually not foreign friendly. Some staff members speak english, but not all.

Campus:
Considering the Country of the University the campus is relatively modern, located in an inspireing cultural center.

Pros

Lot of courses, Some Great Lecturers

Cons

Unhealthy worklload without adequate compensation for the lecturers

Personal comments

I did not have many languages problems because you can always make yourself clear with body language. But sometimes it took a while. I am happy that I learned some Hungarian, when I travelled through north-east hungary it was very useful because many people only speak hungarian.
