CEU campus
The city campus of CEU provides students with countless opportunities for work and recreation — from sitting in a coffee shop with a laptop to internships at large companies. Budapest has a well developed entertainment infrastructure, but the rhythm of the big city can be distracting for some students. University students have access to the library. It contains a collection of scientific papers, textbooks and fiction. CEU regularly invites foreign students to participate in exchange programs. For locals, this is a unique opportunity to get in touch with the cultures of other countries, meet representatives of different nationalities and make friends around the world.
