Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Do yourself a huge favor and make sure that your future neighbors don't party 24/7. Also, check ahead for possible renovations in your building, as it will be seriously annoying when you have to get up at 7:30 on a Sunday morning since Hungarians just don't give a s**t.

Course recommendations
Very disorganized compared to North American standards. Prepare to find out about exams only a week before. Guidelines for essays/papers are very vague!

Personal comments
Although you are told, that there a no rooms for exchange students in the dormitories, it is possible to get one - at least until you found a room in a flat. It is better to use this offer and search for a proper flat when you are already in the country
