Hi, I made a post about how I have a chance to study for a semester in Budapest, Hungary and it sounds really cool, but there is one other option and thought I’d ask just so I don’t dismiss it immediately: Reykjavík, Iceland. I also know next to nothing about Iceland, whether it’s safe for students, if it’s welcoming, if it’s a good place for an American to study at, so might as well ask about it as well. It also sounds fascinating admittedly

    Yeah; seeing Iceland and Budapest as options, I think: “Budapest: relatively cheap, lots of culture. Iceland: trendy and cool, but only if you like waterfalls and darkness and windswept vistas with pretty much no trees. And REALLY expensive.” The people are great in both places. There’s LOTS of tourists everywhere in Iceland in the summer, and the entire population of the island would vanish in Budapest in the winter. So it depends on what you like and when you’re going/for how long.
