Corvinus University of Budapest

As Corvinus University is not in a position to offer on-campus (dormitory) accommodation, incoming students should be prepared to rent a flat alone or together with others. Corvinus ESN offers a group platform/email service for incoming students where they can contact each other already prior to arrival, find roommates, etc. Each student assigned a Hungarian ‘buddy’, the so-called Tandem partner. Tandem partners may help to find accommodation.
