Life at uni
My overall experience at Uni was challenging but it was really fun. I met so many new people and explored new places. It gave me an edge I didn't know I needed.
International Focus At Corvinus
Corvinus University is a great place to study business in Budapest. It has a strong reputation in the field and offers a solid academic experience. One of the things I really appreciate is the large international student scene, which creates a diverse and dynamic learning environment. It's a good choice for anyone looking to study business in a European city with lots of opportunities.
University
Maybe the buildings should add more print shop. And I'm pretty much satisfied both my university and program that I chose. Recently our university opened new campus, but it's little bit far from the main buildings. When I had PE class it was bit difficult to maintain the time.
