I'm an American college student who has an option to study abroad in Budapest for a semester and was wondering if Hungary is a good place to study in, like is it safe and are the universities there good? Ive never been to Europe so no idea what to expect

I'm pretty sure duolingo has Hungarian. Maybe that's a good place to start.

I've heard the youth are coming off of alcohol (even in Hungary), but I'm pretty sure the bars are the most happening places still. The drinking age is 18, and they don't really card in most spots. Ask the Hungarians for the cool spots, I only know about Gólya and Dürer.

FWIW, I drank underage in Texas bars and was also never carded. It was several decades ago.

Yeah... When I arrived in Hungary at age 10, I could buy cigarettes :). But I was a good kid and waited till I was 13. My first time getting tipsy was at 15 at a summer camp, sitting with the teachers/coaches. Friggin 90s.

We got a bit better. Kids can't go into Tobacco shops and I believe they also can't buy energy drinks (besides booze, of course). But just to give the vibe: the sale of flavored vapes is outlawed, and you see the police sucking on 'em out in the street 😅.

Drinking is good of course but I want to talk to Hungarians about everything, esp what they think of America
