Why You Should Move To Szeged - Moving To Hungary in 2024 🇭🇺 

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.

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!

Thanks!

Thanks a lot!

Wow, Nice. Thanks a lot! Well Szeged is wonderful and it would only be better if more people moved here!

Thanks a lot! Definitely doing more videos!

Yeah I know, well I was trying to show why they should visit Szeged over for example Malaga, or the classic western vacation goals.

@@thisisFrederikCornelius 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😅

Thanks a lot, it is a difficult but beautiful language

Thank you David, looking forward to spending my time here!

Thanks a lot!

I love it! Will come back and make lots of videos!

That would be lovely! Let's stay in contact!

Always welcome

Nagyon köszönöm szépen 😁

Exactly what I thought

@@thisisFrederikCornelius 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.

I wanna go there!!

Thanks Greg! I am slowly learning it!

@@thisisFrederikCornelius 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.

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

As a freelancer/student that's exactly why I'm going there

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!

@@thisisFrederikCornelius Thank you. That would be interesting.

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

@@endresoos3850 thank you for your kind words.

Yes it's is wonderful!

Already in April its an average of 18 degrees!

@@thisisFrederikCornelius you think 43,700 HUF is enough in Szeged?

@@AndrewPremacio For what?

@@thisisFrederikCornelius for monthly living.expenses assuming without any out-of town travel

@@AndrewPremacio Dont think so. A flat would be like 100.000 huf.

Haha

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.

Why?

@@thisisFrederikCornelius 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
