Living on a campus ( kollégium) is not possible to foreign students, so basically you have to find an apartment by yourself but help is also available from the people who deal with the foreign students. Every week there is also availabel a magazine called DéliApró which covers almost all the available apartments for rent. You can also keep an eye on the notece boards because there the Hungarian students usually advertise if tehy need a roommmate.

The costs are pretty low, in gerneral I would say it is about 2 3rd of the normal accomodation costs compared to a student city in Germany. It is very rare, but it happens: some of the land-lords are not quite honest. Check the contract (and if possible the reputation) of a land lord with a local.

I had a really nice landlord who helped me when I had some practical problems at the apartment. The apartment was near to the university in a calm neighbourhood. No complaints.

We couldn't be hosted in dorms so we were helped to find private apartments to rent. It wasn't so easy but it was a good experience, to learn how to deal with a rent contract and to share the apartment with another person.

It's a bit a pity that in Szeged there's no room for exchange students in the dormitory, because it would've been nice to live there and get to know the other exchange students well and more Hungarian students

Placed well, not very clean when we arrive, big and owner very kind and speaking English very well.
