A Transformative Experience

December 11, 2024by: Lilla Torontali - United StatesProgram: API: Experience Budapest, Hungary (Scholarships Available)

I had the incredible opportunity to study abroad in Hungary during the fall of 2023. It was an experience that truly enriched my life. While abroad, I had the chance to reconnect with my Hungarian heritage and extended family, explore the beautiful continent of Europe, and broaden my horizons. As a Hungarian, immersing myself in this culture was an amazing opportunity to meet my family overseas and further strengthen my language skills. My resident director, Gitta, was an absolute gem—kind, helpful, and always there to lend a hand. If you even have a tiny nagging desire to study abroad, I highly recommend it. It may seem daunting at first, but the rewards are worth every moment.

Life Changing Experience

I loved API's Budapest, Hungary, program! With Budapest's central location, it was so easy to travel to different countries on a budget. The program itself was great, our program director, Gitta Pestalits, went above and beyond for every student. She took us on many awesome excursions in Hungary and helped us get immersed. While you're in Budapest you will attend Corvinus University. The university is gorgeous and is located right on the Danube River. You will love every second there and will return!

Living and Learning in Budapest

For me, studying abroad in Budapest exceeded my hopes and aspirations for what I could have asked for out of a study abroad semester. I wanted to study abroad for many reasons: to travel, to expose myself to new cultures, to meet people from all around the world, and to have experiences that would place a lasting impact on my life. After 4 months living and learning in Budapest with API, all of these goals were achieved. As Budapest is in central Europe, I could travel easily to both Western and Eastern Europe, and some of my friends also made trips to places as far as Israel. The city was mostly inexpensive, and therefore I was able to make the most of my money and experience as much as the city had to offer. At Corvinas University, I learned a great deal through my classes, but I learned even more from the interactions I had with fellow students, of which the majority did not come from the United States. Budapest exceeded my expectations, and I would recommend it to anyone.
