My experience at Budapest Metropolitan University was truly rewarding. The environment is welcoming and diverse, with students from all over the world. The professors, especially in the design department where I studied, are supportive and genuinely want to see you succeed. The hands-on learning approach and creative atmosphere made my time here unforgettable.

Very modern campus with flexible schedule options and a well-equipped library. The cafeteria has great food, and the staff are always friendly and welcoming. The front desk is super efficient—getting your student ID sticker takes seconds! Most of the professors are excellent, though, like any university, there are a few exceptions (I’ll name them once I graduate, haha). Definitely feels more up-to-date compared to ELTE.
