This video is literally one of the best I've watched so far. Finally someone is giving information relevant to a student. I subbed you. Hopefully you will continue to upload such helpful videos. Thanks!

[@hurairaverse2280]

You deserve to subscribe. Keep making relevant videos on basic information as it really helps us to know about the place where we are planning to lodge.

[@elizatu]

Thank you 😊) I missed this info when I was applying, happy that's helpful for you

Private acomodation or University dormitory which one is better for getting visa?

[@raakastucliffe7664]

Hi, I love your video it's very informative. I have a question, does the scholarship also cover the airfare ticket?

[@abdulazizsalihu8728]

Yeah sure

[@massamashhoor8574]

No, it doesn't

Are ELTE dormitories very far from campuses? And what about jobs ? For a bachelor student what kind of jobs are available and what is average wage per hour?

[@elizatu]

Hi! Elte has many campuses and many dorms. The closest dorm to my campus was 20 min by bus. The farest more than one hour. You can always check the location before applying

[@elizatu]

As a bachelor you can apply for an internship (20 hours per week) in you field. The average wage is 1000-1200 HUF per hour. You can also get temp jobs like waitressing or being a tour guide and so on.

[@huzaifaaziz2197]

@@elizatu thanks for your reply . I think BME is gonna be best because there dorms are in city but quality is too low . On same time ELTE has best dorm quality but they are far away and traveling longer on daily basis is a problem for me . I wish I could apply for corvinus or Szeged but they don't provide BA in accounting and finance .

[@strawberrymilk9752]

thank you!

[@brianneirazx]

According to this: If you decide to live in a flat, the scholarship will give you 40000 HUF allowance for flat + 43700 HUF scholarship. If you live in a dorm, you just get scholarship without accomodation allowance. IS IT BETTER TO LIVE IN A FLAT EVEN BECAUSE LIVING IN A FLAT IS BETTER AND WE RECEIVE MONEY?

[@elizatu]

Yes

[@annamarkelova4231]

Привет!)) у меня вопрос по поводу выдаваемой визы. Скажи, пожалуйста, это же национальная, не шенген? И если да, то можно ли с ней выезжать в другие страны Евросоюза и потом вернуться в венгрию обратно?

[@elizatu]

Привет, это национальная. С ней можно въехать в Венгрию один раз, т.е. путешествия за пределы Венгрии невозможны. Но через несколько недель (если удачливы - дней) после приезда вы получаете вид на жительство. С ним можно свободно путешествовать по ЕС

Hi, I'm planning to apply for the scholarship for my Master's Degree but since its stipend is not enough I NEED to have a job, Otherwise, I might have to terminate the course and come back. I have a Computer science bachelor's Degree so what are the chances of getting a part-time job in Budapest, Debrecen, or any other city where a decent University is located? Any kinda job will do. thanks

[@elizatu]

Hi! I will make a video regarding job search. In general, it is possible to find a part time job/internship if you are in Budapest. If you study in other smaller cities it is problematic. Based on my experience, I lived the first semester only on scholarship + some money that I spend on the first month. I was living in the dorm and buying groceries. So, scholarship is enough for covering very basic living. As soon as you adapt, you can find job and live how you want)

[@rma1563]

@@elizatu oh! thanks 😊

[@sufiyanshamsi6948]

will 40,000 HUF accommodation allowance cover the dormitory cost at Budapest University of Technology and Economics?

[@elizatu]

Hi, you don't get an accommodation allowance if you leave in the dormitory. Instead, you get a free place in the dormitory.

[@azkahamdhi4081]

How much does food cost in Godollo? Is 43700 huf enough for only food , i mean cooking for myself?

[@elizatu]

Hi, last year the inflation in Hungary was very significant. The grocery prices increased for around 40%. I believe this year 43700 huf will not be enough to cover the grocery costs (although it was enough to cover food+transportation couple of years ago). However, it is possible to get a part-time job.

[@きい-q8x]

Hi, I'm interested in studying abroad to Hungary. Which university do you go?

[@elizatu]

Hi, ELTE

[@swagata414]

Are dormitories available these days? I heard that students are not getting dorms and have to find accomodation on their own.

[@elizatu]

Hi! It depends on the university, according to COVID regulations, fewer people can be placed into dorms, but there are still offered. Of course, if the university has few places, more students have to find accommodation outside.

[@halilibrahim4501]

If we decide to live in a flat instead of a dormitory does the scholarship cover the price or give us same amount of money with dorm students ? or does it only supply us 250 euro for everything including dorm or rent?

[@elizatu]

If you decide to live in a flat, the scholarship will give you 40000 HUF allowance for flat + 43700 HUF scholarship. If you live in a dorm, you just get scholarship without accomodation allowance

[@SMILE-yk6cw]

You mention job. Do scholarship holder get work permit during their study? If yes how many hours max. A student can work per week? Please let me know. I am waiting for your response.

[@elizatu]

Hi, students are allowed to work 20h/week. No additional permit is needed, you are allowed to work part-time with student permit.

[@sophiaromero6242]

Do people speak in English in other cities apart from Budapest such as Pécs?

[@elizatu]

Professors do speak as well as most of the people attending university. In general, younger people know English, but in smaller cities the majority don't speak

[@sophiaromero6242]

@@elizatu oh okay, noted! I've also seen that many people struggle to make friends there, which makes me nervous as an introvert. Do you agree or disagree?

[@elizatu]

@@sophiaromero6242 do not be nervous 🤗, it's gonna be okay. Hopefully, the distance lessons are over. It was a bit harder to connect when students were studying remotely. But when classes will be running in person, you will be part of international community. It is fun and easy to find like minded)

Hi thanks for sharing... For dorm 2 person per room, is it now becoming only 1 person per room?

Hi! Sorry, I am not sure that my answer is relevant now, but most of the dormitories still keep 2 people

Do our agent go with us when we go to hungary for the first tym...?...or will anybody go with us like to tell us where to go or wht to do?....plz reply mam..

Could you please clarify to me which agent? As far as I know there are no agents, but you will receive clear instructions from the university and can make everything by yourself
