This is why Szeged is one of the best university towns in Hungary

International students often opt for universities in Budapest due to their prestige and good reputation across Europe. However, there are several other quality universities outside the Hungarian capital. Pécs, Debrecen, and Szeged are all great examples. Let us look at some pros for the University of Szeged.

Small town charm with all the advantages of a big city

Szeged is not a small city, yet you can get anywhere relatively fast. The public transportation is well-organised. Traffic is not that heavy, which makes it ideal for biking, too. You can easily cycle from one place to another. It takes mere minutes to get to the riverbank from downtown, which is the ideal place for a breezy walk, run, or quiet study away from the noise of the city.

Easier on your wallet

Life is much cheaper pretty much everywhere than in Budapest. Since the city is full of students from all around, there are a lot of places available for rent, 24.hu writes.

While in Budapest, it is a challenge to find a place under 280 euros + utilities per month, in Szeged, rooms usually start at around 56 euros (+ utilities) a month, or 168 euros (+ utilities) for an entire flat (with 1.5 rooms).
