Hey! I am looking at University of Pecs for a study abroad option. I am studying architecture and was wondering how the program is there? I will be a 4th year student (from the U.S.) by the time I study abroad, so I was wondering if you had any input on the higher level architecture classes?

[@ShamsMMS]

@@gagecarlton6351 I just started my second semester in the masters of architecture here ... I can say that the approach here is quite design intensive and is over all pretty good from my experience here... Also the doctors in the faculty can speak very good english for the most part. I would say its a pretty good option to consider 😁

[@gagecarlton6351]

@@ShamsMMS Awesome! Thank you for replying! Are you quite busy with a lot of school work or do you have a good amount of free time to explore and do activities? Also, how difficult are the classes? Where I am, we are always super busy with school work and the classes are pretty intense, and we focus more on design than mathematics behind our work, so I wanted to know if the classes are super math based and hard or not. Sorry for all of the questions, I’m just so unsure of where I would like to go. Again, thank you for answering!

Hey… glad to see u here . I am also gonna start Msc arch in the upcoming semester.

Thank you very much for sharing your experience, I'm hopping to apply for a masters degree in computer science engineering in the 2024/2025 call, regarding the living situation in the dormitories it's not a problem for me I'm a Cuban graduate and we used to live 12 to 16 people in the same dormitory with a floor bathroom and no kitchen which is fine by me because I meet some of my best friends thanks to that and had the opportunity to learn so much about so many different cultures. I hope I get excepted in any university, I'm aiming for PÉCS but any other option is fine. Anyway thank you very much for sharing your experience and best of luck in the future

Thank You for you efforts, all of your videos are very informative . my question is.. As a scholarship student (first year) do you have the right to choose your Dorm ?

I got admission in pecs uni in BS biotechnology ..and also got SCYP scholarship. I'm very excited but will u plz guide me what the weather is there bcz I'm coming from Pakistan 🇵🇰.

[@CamMedLife]

Hey, congratulations! I would describe the weather in Pécs as a city of extremes. It gets cold in the winter reaching temperatures of around -7 degrees and then it gets really hot in the summer reaching temperatures around 37 degrees. So bring clothing that covers both bases and if you don’t have a winter coat already, I advise you buy one in Europe as they tend to be better equipped for the winter. Pécs can also get a lot of rain at times during the year so a coat with a waterproof outer layer would be most ideal.

Hey, unfortunately I don’t think I can provide detailed information on the biology course specifically as I’m in the medical program but if you have any specific questions then send them through and I will try my best to answer them. Part-time jobs are possible to find but less so than what would be available in Budapest which is a larger city. I have seen some international students doing food delivery and helping at restaurants but I’m not entirely sure what the availability is in other sectors.

[@CamMedLife]

@@asu.9587 It is quite a tedious process because you need quite a few different documents and then you need to go to the Immigration Office. Hopefully if you lucky, it will be sorted out the first time you go but often times they seem to need some kind of additional document or changes to one of your documents and then you have to go back. The list of everything you will need to take with you should be outlined on the information package you get sent by the university. From what I remember, it was a link to their “For Future Students” tab on their website.

[@-Invisble]

Thank you. Your video was very helpful. Can you please tell me the actual living cost excluding dormitory? And are dormitoris given to students without a fuss? Or they have limited seats?

[@CamMedLife]

Hey, I’m glad the video could be of some help to you. It depends on how you choose to live but in comparison to the rest of Europe, Pécs is definitely very affordable. Excluding accommodation you will roughly need about 70 000 Hungarian Forints - upwards. With regards to the dormitory, I got in very easily when I came but I assume there might be some competition for places. There are quite a few dormitories to choose from though and therefore a lot of rooms. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask!

[@-Invisble]

@@CamMedLife Thanks

[@CamMedLife]

@@-Invisble No problem, if you want to eat out a few times and order food occasionally but still cook your own meals most of the time. I would estimate somewhere between 120 000 -150 000 Forints per month.

Hi, Cam! Which dormitory is nearest to the faculty of engineering and information technology? Im from the Philippines!

Heyy,Cam!!! I'm from Angola I need your help to enter the university of pécs. I'm finished high school nursing, I would like some tips!!!

[@CamMedLife]

Hey, so sorry for the late reply. Been very busy with exams. I believe that gaining entrance into this university is very doable if you study effectively for your theoretical part of the entrance exam and then ensure that you have answers to common interview questions such as: why do you want to study this degree? Why do you want to study in Pécs? What are some of your hobbies? If you can make sure that you have confidence with all the theoretical topics to an equal degree and you have thought of the answers to those types of questions above then you can do it! Good luck!!

[@mar14892]

thanks for the information.. i'm just wandering is it possible for me to pay for two students and stay alone by myself in the room of two at the dorm or it's not possible?

[@CamMedLife]

Hey, I’m actually not sure. I remember there being a potential to request a room without a roommate and they would take your request into consideration but could not guarantee it as it depends on how many students have applied for the dormitory. I would say that there maybe is a chance you could organise to pay for 2 people and stay in a room alone as I got the impression that they were quite flexible but again, I can’t confirm. I would suggest sending one of the dormitories an email for more clarity

I haven’t really looked into it because I don’t have time to work on top of studying even though I would like to but there are some jobs available. A lot of students do food deliveries and then there should be some openings at some stores and restaurants (potentially) but it is a small city so jobs are not plentiful. I would advise emailing the university for more clarity.

Congratulations to your daughter! It is difficult to give you a definitive answer to your question but I believe it will be worth it. I’ve said before that every university has it’s issues but the University of Pécs still has a relatively acceptable ranking. I am in the mindset that the degree will open doors for me and if new obstacles come up I will find a way around them. With regards to accommodation, I recommend that your daughter applies for Szántó dormitory through the Neptun Portal System of the University for her first semester. Since this will be her first time abroad, being in a dormitory where she can meet different people easily and also get help with all the admin stuff that she will need to do in her first semester, seems like the best option.
