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

    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 😅.
