I'm an American college student who has an option to study abroad in Budapest for a semester and was wondering if Hungary is a good place to study in, like is it safe and are the universities there good? Ive never been to Europe so no idea what to expect

Absolutely do it. I'm an American living in Albania, I haven't been to Budapest yet, but I have a ton of friends that go at least every couple of years. Everyone says it's amazing.

In addition, it's cheap rail and flights to the rest of Europe. Hop around every chance you get while a shitty hostel bed won't break your body. If possible, plan to spend an extra month after your semester with a rail pass and no plan.

I really can't stress enough how much I wish I would have done this. Go, use your student ID to get everything possible for cheap. See works by all of the ninja turtles, view ruins that existed and have been abandoned multiple times the age of the US. Eat weird food. See so many awe inspiring churches that you're like, "oh, it's ABC(another beautiful church)"
