When choosing a university abroad, it is easy to focus on the programme.

You compare courses, tuition fees, admission requirements and career opportunities. You may spend hours researching the university itself without thinking as much about the place where you will actually live.

But when you study abroad, the university is not the only thing you are choosing.

You are also choosing a city, a neighbourhood, a daily routine and an environment that will become part of your student experience.

So before you apply, it is worth asking:

What kind of place do I actually want to live in while I study?

1. Think about your everyday life, not just your weekends

When you look at a university鈥檚 location, it is easy to focus on the exciting things you could do there.

But your everyday life matters more.

How easy is it to get to campus? Can you reach shops, restaurants and other essential services easily? Is there somewhere to study outside your classes? What is the atmosphere like on a normal weekday?

You will spend much more time living your everyday routine than sightseeing.

A location that works well for your daily life can make studying abroad feel much more manageable.

2. Consider what kind of city suits you

There is no single best type of university city.

Some students enjoy the energy and constant activity of a large capital. Others prefer a smaller city where it may be easier to find their way around and get to know their surroundings.

Think about what you are looking for.

Do you want busy streets, large cultural events and lots of entertainment? Or would you prefer a more relaxed environment where you can balance studying with outdoor activities and a quieter pace of life?

Neither option is automatically better.

The important thing is choosing a place that matches the kind of student experience you want.

3. Look beyond the university campus

Your student experience does not stop when you leave the university building.

The city around you can become an important part of your time abroad. You might discover new interests, meet people outside your programme, join activities, explore local culture or simply find your favourite place to spend an afternoon.

This is especially important if you are studying abroad for several years.

A city with parks, cultural attractions, restaurants, sports and other activities gives you opportunities to build a life outside your studies.

And those experiences can become just as memorable as your time in the classroom.

4. Think about access to other places

Living in a smaller city does not necessarily mean being disconnected.

When comparing destinations, look at how easy it is to travel to other places. You may want to visit other cities, travel during university breaks or simply explore more of the country during your studies.

This can give you the best of both worlds: a manageable place to live during the semester and the opportunity to discover more of the country when you have time.

For international students, this can be an important part of the experience.

You are not only studying in another country. You have the opportunity to experience it, too.

5. Ask yourself where you would feel comfortable

This may be the most important question of all.

Moving abroad can be exciting, but it can also take some adjustment. You are learning how things work in a new country, meeting new people and building a routine away from home.

The place you live in can make that transition easier 鈥� or more difficult.

Before choosing a university, try to imagine yourself there on an ordinary day.

Could you see yourself studying there, meeting friends, going for a walk after class, exploring the city and eventually feeling that the place is familiar?

If the answer is yes, the location may be a better fit than you first realised.

The University of 精东影业 is located in Veszpr茅m, a city in western Hungary.

For international students, Veszpr茅m offers a different experience from studying in a large capital. The city has a strong student atmosphere while also offering access to cultural attractions, green spaces and outdoor activities.

Its location also makes it possible to explore more of Hungary during your time as a student. Lake Balaton and the surrounding region are within easy reach, while Budapest can also be reached when you want to experience the capital.

At the same time, the university is closely connected to the city around it. Your experience as a student includes the places where you spend time outside class, the people you meet and the routines you build during your studies.

That is why location is worth considering alongside the programme itself.

So, what should you check before choosing?

When comparing universities abroad, do not only ask:

鈥淚s this a good university?鈥�

Also ask:

鈥淲ould I enjoy living here?鈥�

Look at the size and atmosphere of the city, your everyday needs, opportunities outside the classroom and access to other places.

Your university will be where you study.

But your university city will be where you live.

At the University of 精东影业, you can combine an English-taught university programme with life in Veszpr茅m and the wider region.

Applications for the February 2027 intake are open from 15 August to 15 October 2026.
