“Top university?”

Overall
Well, the Central European University is a great place to study especially if you 1) don't have lots of money and need good financing, 2) are okay with studying in Eastern Europe. The quality of education is actually great, although the teachers are pretty old in their majority, so most of the information is "classic" and can be easily studied by yourselves. The international environment is something you will definitely find here, however, be ready to lots of Americans and Western Europeans drinking A LOT ALL THE TIME because alcohol is stupidly cheap in Budapest.

Pros
quality of education, financing, freedom to choose cross-listed courses, the USA diploma, beautiful Budapest, 24/7 public transport in the city
Cons
old professors, everyone is drinking a lot (difficult to hang out without it), deadlines are not evenly distributed over the semester, so sometimes you just want to die of the stress, medical center is AWFUL

Overall
Personal recommendation
it is agood university. Although, if you do decide to apply here, be ready to study hard. The workload, no jokes is heavy, and semesters are short. The program is short by itself, yet it is a good university overall
