Pécsi Tudományegyetem (JPTE)

The prices went up quite a lot in bars after new year and I wonder how fast the inflation-rate grows..?

The teachers spoke to me in English or German. If they couldn´t say something they asked another student to translate. People at the university were helpful and tried to find a way to communicate. It would´ve been nice to be able to speak more with other students who seemed very friendly but we didn´t share a same language. Anyway English is not my first langauge either! In Hungary people don´t speak very much English and in shops and railway-stations I usually tried to cope in Hungarian. Finding an apartment indipendently was very difficult because of the language and it took some time, but luckily we met some helpful Hungarians and managed to find a nice place!

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 ;-)

Campus was fine, too! It´s easy to meet lot of other students in there. Our room was newly renovated and clean and there was internet-access in another room in a corridor. There was some noice on disco-nights though (Mon&Wed). There were some language problems with the stuff because they didn´t speak English, but there were always some helpful Hungarian students who would translate!
