Pécsi Tudományegyetem (JPTE)

Travel tips: I went to Plitvice in Croatia (it is a national park, really beautiful any time of the year), we crossed war area which was pretty impressive. Transsylvania (roemenia) is great too, but you need a visa for that. But don't forget to take a look around in Hungary as well, Budapest, lake Balaton, Eger, the puszta are definately worth a visit. What impressed me as well, but you have to like it, was the communist town Ajka, Near lake balaton, build by the russians and now half of the fabrics are closed, you can see the results of fourthy years of communism. I went there with a friend who lived there and he showed me the fabrics and the lakes, they were so blue, incredible, but the lakes were heavily poisened by chemicals, it was chemical blue, and the area had a radio-activity of 5,8 so beware..

Pecs and Hungary are both really nice places to spend a semester. I had the time of my life and made some good friends and useful contacts around Europe.

Use Pecs as a base for traveling in any direction. As a student you get cheap tickets for the trains. But use ONLY the Intercity trains since the regular are way too slow. Gasoline is expensive - no need for a car. And enjoy the time here. For me, I suddenly run out of time. Could have spent one more month here. Still have a lot to see.
