The first week is on and I realize that I was right when I was worried about going back to school after so many years. Orientation and first classes prove that the whole experience won’t be a free ride and we have to work really hard to get “there”! Well, this is what we are here for in the first place, right?!
Joey, I do agree with your comment on assistance to those new to Budapest and Hungary in general. Thankfully, there are Hungarian students in the group as well as those who are living in Budapest, who are kind enough to give tips and recommendations on various issues, though I think this would be the job of the school.
Speaking of the group, I think it is great advantage that so many countries are represented through students. It means that throughout the upcoming 11 months we will be exposed to different cultures, mentalities, ways of doing things, and we will be making new friends while at it! That is cool!

Fara,
ReplyDeleteI agree that this course is not going to be a free ride, but if we all work together we will survive and do well.
The Multi-Diversity of the class is one of the strongest aspects of this program.
