Personal recommendation
The University celebrates its 10th anniversary. As member of the CEU alumni network I follow it's development and believe it becomes even better every year. A fellow student and friend recently wrote for the anniversary bulletin that CEU is the acronym for Challenging, Everlasting and Unique and I believe it could not be described better.

To start sending Cv earlier. In Hungary, unless you speak absolutely perfect Hungarian, finding a job is an uphill battle.

Its not set up like a typpical American university, where social events are school sponsored. If you just put a bit of effort into it, you will have a great time.

Make sure you'll find someone interested in your field of study/topic before you go. And check out the range of courses you can take, before you apply.

I think for anyone from Eastern Europe, CEU is a good opportunity to start a potentially international academic career. For those of you from Western Europe or Americe, I understand that CEU is much cheaper than any other Western university.

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
