CITY TOUR:
Approx. 5-hour walking tour of Budapest, covering the main sights of the city center on the Pest side, along with a few hidden gems. Depending on time, we may also visit the Buda side of the city. It is recommended to bring comfortable shoes, some drinking water, and a bit of food for the road.
CAMPUS TOUR:
We’re inviting all first-year international Computer Science students to a special Campus Tour. Come explore the best places to study, hang out, grab a coffee, and find your way around. It’s also a great chance to meet other international students and make new friends!
BOARD GAMES:
Whether you’re a master strategist or just love party games, come play with us at the library and get to know your future fellow students! Feel free to bring your favorite game and teach it to us.
PICNIC AT KOPASZI-GÁT:
Come and hang out with us at the beautiful Kopaszi-gát (dam), just a short walk from campus! It’s a lush, grassy area stretching into the Danube – the perfect spot to relax and get to know each other. What’s on the plan? Ice cream, laughter, and good games. What to bring: a blanket or towel to sit on + some coins for ice cream 🍨+ drinks and snacks to keep you going 🍕🥤
CLUB DAY:
Curious about student life beyond classes? Visit the Club Day at the ELTE Faculty of Informatics and meet the student communities that shape our campus life.
At this event, you can:
– Meet the active student clubs at their stands
– Have a refreshing drink and chat with club leaders
– Learn more about their activities, events, and goals
– Discover ways to get involved or simply enjoy the atmosphere
Whether you’re looking to join a community, make new friends, or just explore what’s out there, this is the perfect opportunity to connect.
WALK AROUND MARGARET ISLAND:
Discover Margaret Island, one of Budapest’s most iconic spots with us! Led by senior students, participants will explore the island’s main sights: the musical fountain, the mini zoo, the monastery ruins, the water tower, and the peaceful Japanese garden. After the guided walk, there’s time to enjoy the island freely: try out a bringóhintó (pedal-powered four-wheel bike), grab a lemonade or ice cream along the food promenade, or bring a ball, a racket, or any outdoor games to play or simply relax on the wide green lawns.
THE MEETING POINT FOR ALL ACTIVITIES IS IN THE SOUTH BUILDING, RIGHT NEXT TO THE CAFETERIA ON THE GROUND FLOOR.
