“Just a note to say how informational, interesting, diverse and culturally stimulating this program has been. I would highly recommend it to any student as the subject matter has been appropriate for all science, engineering and sustainability students. The hospitality and effort this staff has shown all 25 of us has been excellent having made sure each evening has had an agenda either scientific in nature or having to do with their culture, including wine and music festivals. They have planned two extensive weekend trips for us all around Lake Balaton region which is about 4 hrs away and this weekend Pecs. We also have had several class related trips including sustainable agricultural/animal science, and on Monday a trip to the Nuclear power plant in Paks. This has been an amazing opportunity and experience.
