Personal comments
I liked going to any restaurant in the evening, having a tasteful meal and a good coffee together with some of the other Erasmus students. The food is reletively cheap and the atmosphere is very relaxing here downtown Pecs.

Personal comments
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!
