I am a Hungarian living in the USA. Contemplating moving back, due to the insanity happening here. Although from Budapest originally, Szeged is the place I am seriously considering. It is a nice college city. Enjoy!
What cities do you recommended to move to in Hungary? I have Budapest, Pécs, Szeged, Debreden, and Pannonia in mind. You mentioned College City. I a applying for a Masters program, but I also want a social life, go our every now and then, meet new people, and have different spare time activities if you know what I mean. What's your final word? Thanks in advance, and I hope we can meet sometime. Happy 2023!!!
@@carlosmunoz7829 Happy 2013, Señor! The universities are concentrated in the bigger cities in Hungary. Those you mentioned, or especially Budapest, Debrecen and Szeged are all good choices. To be frank, I would chose Szeged or Debrecen ahead of BP. BP is a very big city with the associated traffic issues and such. Lots of tourists in the cool areas and that creates tourist prices and petty crime. Remember, Hungary is a fairly small country and all places can be visited with ease. If you have an opportunity, visit those cities for a few days each and decide then. I wish you the best of luck and enjoy Hungary!
@@SFUndertaker Thanks!!! The thing is I'm applying for the Stipendium Hungaricum and I have to decide my top 2 choices right now or before the deadline. Another Panamanian who's living there said it's easier to get a job at BP considering the allowance is not that big. I'm okay with small cities, and I totally see your point. Having more opportunities and options in the city increases the prices and it may be more stressful 😅
@@carlosmunoz7829 I see. A bit more complicated than initially meets the eye. Unquestionably, in BP you will have an easier time to find employment. However, the cost of living is likely higher as well. There are reasonable areas, especially if you get out of BP proper and find housing in the “suburbs”. The public transportation is safe, reliable and cheap. Maybe even faster than driving a car, in some cases. Not to mention the parking. For a tight budget, that’s what I would recommend. When young, everyone want’s to live in a flat above the liquor store and five minutes walk from the bars and clubs. However, it is fun for a couple of weeks and then reality sets in. For someone from a city in the US, BP is cheap. Even in the pricier, central areas. If you are from Panama, the cost is not that cheap, especially in the aforementioned neighborhoods. To summarize: If you need employment, BP is the way to go. Pick the university and based on its location, pick the area where you want to live. Cost, transportation to the school, transportation to possible work (which is likely in the center). How far to walk to the nearest bus stop, tram (villamos) stop or commuter train (hév) stop. When is the first and last public transport to that area? Do you need to change lines? BP, and Hungary in general is real safe. However, you want to avoid the more rough and tumble neighborhoods. No one needs a fight with some drunk or get pick pocketed. Get a good map of BP and surroundings with public transportation schedules. Research the districts of BP regarding cost, traffic, accessibility and safety. I wish I could be more helpful. Suerte Amigo!
Sajnos, nem beszélek idegen nyelvet! Érezd jól Magad Szegeden! Én se vagyok szegedi születésű. Kicsit idősebb lehettem, amikor Szegedre költöztem. Nagyon nehezen szoktam meg, de mára imádom ezt a várost! Egy javaslat! Csináld meg ezt a videót újra, de nyáron. Akkor sokkal szebb minden.
i was born in Szeged. moved to Norway and india during my childhood. Now i got admission to Szeged University and will be going back to my birthplace. It is a wonderful place
It's nice to see you feel good in Hungary. Bear in mind that most things you call cheap are disastrous for Hungarian wallets. Most things have even been getting more expensive for the last couple of months. Thanks for your refreshing video.
@@FrederikCorneliustravel I am from the West, living in Szeged now too. The inflation is happening everywhere, unless you grow your own food and have chickens, along with a private oil well😅
I'm so impressed with your pronunciation!! :D Elongate those vowels a tiny bit and you'll be great! Szeged is my Hungarian hometown, half of my family still lives there and I have purchased land there to establish a little farm in a couple of years. Highly recommended! Great natural spas in the area as well. :) xx
It's amazing how You appreciate and like Hungary, looking at the fact that Denmark, form where You come, is a VERY developed country! I wish You always a nice time at us!
Hey bro, Please allow me to tell you my brief story. Been around a few countries and many cities; Even though when it was time to buy my very first home, had no other options. My wife wasn't into it, but appriciated my passion. I've studied tourism earlier, so if you would like a free sightseeing, be my guest! So now you are a part of the city of sunshine, keep on sharing the good vibes! Stay cool!
@@FrederikCorneliustravel One can always hope for a new volcano forming within walking distance of Kárász utca, but I don't think the chances of that are high.
Everyhing here is only cheap if you are not employed within the country. Keep in mind that the minimum hourly wage here is about 1.86 Euro/hour after taxes. An average persone here could work for an hour for that coffe and another one for the cake.
Try one hour for both I live in Hungary and the minimum wage is about 3 euros but the problem is the shortage of jobs especially for non speaker Hungarian
@@FrederikCorneliustravel Dont learn it. English is good enough. By the way hope your parents have a thick walett, because if you want to make a living from a hungarian wage you gonna be very suppriesd.
Thanks! I Will Make A Video answering all your questions very soon! But that being said, it is very easy if you try to become a part of the society! Learn the language and so on!
I was born in Szeged, moved to Budapest when I was 18 and later to the Netherlands. I remember we highly appreciated people from the western world, choosing for their studies in Szeged. I guess foreigners are still welcomed. The city is safe, don't worry about that

Ja, és rengeteg a csöves, az utcák tele vannak ön - és közveszélyes emberekkel. Én senkinek sem javasolnám, hogy ide költözzön. El lehet ide jönni szétnézni, enni egy halászlevet, meg ilyenek, de itt élni megint más...
This isn't Scandinavia. We learn English and other languages in school but people don't use it and they forget it. In Budapest or the bigger cities it is more common to find people who can speak English. But to expect people in a foreign country to speak your language is a little bit annoying... Maybe move to other English speaking country if you don't want to deal with the language barrier.
@@FrederikCorneliustravel how long have you been living there? There is a reason why every European country hate us, now even Poland refuses to back up our government. Have you been to a hungarian hospital? Have you seen the salaries here? Have you seen the retirement pay seniors get? Absolutely ridiculous, Hungary is the number 1 country in the Union which lefts it’s country and move out somewhere else, the people who stay here are the eldery generation. Within Europe, nobody comes here to have a better life. Move to Austria or something
Remember to stay around as much as you want!
How well do you speak Hungarian and where did you learn?
I am slowly learning! Takes some time!

You are completely insane if you stay in the USA. This place is a fucking lunatic asylum. I am jealous.

Welcome here in Szeged! Have fun and great time here!
Thanks a lot!
This video gave me a little taste of this beautiful city.
I am living in Budapest, but i plan to move to Szeged if i get into university.
Thank you!:)
Wow, Nice. Thanks a lot! Well Szeged is wonderful and it would only be better if more people moved here!
This Was A Good Showcase of Szeged!
Gonna go there someday!
Glad to see that someone has the same passion of Szeged as I did before moving here! Hope to bump into you someday.

Szeged is the best city in Hungary.
Welcome to our city , i think you will enjoy it , thanks for giving this positive opinion
I love it! Will come back and make lots of videos!
Yes, Szeged is a pleasant town. Perhaps a hill would be nice somewhere there.
Exactly what I thought
@@FrederikCorneliustravel One can always hope for a new volcano forming within walking distance of Kárász utca, but I don't think the chances of that are high.

Already in April its an average of 18 degrees!

@@FrederikCorneliustravel for monthly living.expenses assuming without any out-of town travel
@@AndrewPremacio Dont think so. A flat would be like 100.000 huf.
