Since everyone involved did not know whether a semester abroad was even possible in times of Corona, the decision was somewhat delayed.   <\/p>\n<p>At the end of May, I received a conditional acceptance for a theory semester in Budapest.  <b>In cooperation with the International Office, the Examinations Office and other students who have also received conditional acceptance, we have drawn up a contingency plan on how we can complete our studies within the standard period of study despite the pandemic and a possible cancellation of our stay abroad.<\/b>  I would therefore like to thank you once again for your excellent support.

In hindsight, I can say that the stress was worth it and I had an extra week to get to know the city and new people.  <\/p>\n<p>Finding accommodation was also very easy. You had the option of choosing one of three different halls of residence at Budapest Metropolitan University or looking for a shared flat or apartment on your own. Both have advantages and disadvantages. For example, the halls of residence are a little cheaper, but also a little further out. You often live in a room with another person and there are shared kitchens and showers. That&#8217;s why I looked for a shared flat on the internet. <b>You can actually find a flat share at<\/b> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wg-gesucht.de\/\" title=\"\" target=\"_blank\"><b>wg-gesucht.de<\/b><\/a> <b>and I quickly found what I was looking for.<\/b> I shared a very nice apartment in the middle of Budapest with two other German students.

METU is easy to reach by public transport. Nevertheless, I wasn&#8217;t able to go to the university once because Corona also affected the face-to-face events. At the introductory event, I was told that only online lectures could take place in the first two weeks, but that after that, the course would continue as usual.     <b>Unfortunately, nothing came of it and I only had online courses for the whole semester.<\/b> <\/p>\n<p>This situation was not only new for me, but for all students, lecturers and other staff at the university. In my opinion, however, it worked very well and the lecturers tried to make the courses as creative and interesting as possible. In addition, despite nine lectures a week, I had a lot of free time and was able to discover a lot of Budapest and Hungary.  <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toggle-item\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 id=\"elementor-tab-title-7934\" class=\"elementor-tab-title\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"button\" aria-controls=\"elementor-tab-content-7934\" aria-expanded=\"false\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon elementor-toggle-icon-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-closed\"><i class=\"fas fa-angle-down\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened\"><i class=\"elementor-toggle-icon-opened fas fa-angle-up\"><\/i><\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-toggle-title\" tabindex=\"0\">Budapest - Paris of the East<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/h3>\n\n\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-tab-content-7934\" class=\"elementor-tab-content elementor-clearfix\" data-tab=\"4\" role=\"region\" aria-labelledby=\"elementor-tab-title-7934\"><p>This city has many facets, offers enormous diversity and is very exciting, whether for young or old. For me, there was nothing better than sitting outside in the sunshine in a caf\u00e9 or bar by the Danube and enjoying life in Budapest. There are so many sights, such as the Parliament, the Castle Palace, Heroes&#8217; Square or the thermal baths, which you should definitely visit. The city is also very lively and there is never a quiet moment. For example, when I came home from a birthday party, I witnessed a film shoot in the middle of the night and it was impossible to go into my apartment because everything was cordoned off.    <\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, the well-known Christmas markets could not open due to corona, but the Christmas season in Budapest is still something special because everything is so magnificently decorated and adorned, as you can see in my photos. Fortunately, Hungary was not yet so badly affected by corona at the beginning of my stay and I was able to experience the first two months almost without restrictions. The cost of living in Budapest is roughly comparable to that in Germany.    <b>With the financial support of the Erasmus+ scholarship, you can definitely lead a carefree life in this beautiful city.<\/b><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section data-particle_enable=\"false\" data-particle-mobile-disabled=\"false\" class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-a875ff7 elementor-section-boxed elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"a875ff7\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-100 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-5af7b8f1\" data-id=\"5af7b8f1\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7d4a5d3d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"7d4a5d3d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h5>Conclusion<\/h5>\n<br>Everyone should travel to Budapest at least once in their life, because it is definitely worth a trip.
