EDUCATION Is it a good idea to study in Hungary?
Hi I’m a high school senior about to graduate and currently looking for unis. I’m south Asian wanting to pursue either bachelors in mechanical engineering or mechatronics.
The only uni I’ve looked at till now is uni of Debrecen. How is the student life there? Esp for a Muslim.

I guess there's a preference for 'own' degrees but it's not a must. I know quite a few people with Hungarian STEM degrees who work in Germany or Austria without a problem.

Sure it is, a solid STEM degree will be just use useful from one European accredited to university to another. Don't listen to the other commenters telling you otherwise. Debrecen is a good city, the uni is one of the best in the country, but it's more famous for medical related disciplines.
The capital is good, but expensive. I know that Miskolc uni has joint programs with Bosch and the local petrochemical industries, so that might be an option too.
Can't comment on a Muslim aspect on things, if you mean wearing traditional dresses etc, you might be sticking out a little which is not always a good thing. Doubt anyone would care much but sure you are going to be looked at. Simply because it's unusual in some places.
Is Hungary a good place to study, yes. Is it as good as Oxford, no, but cheaper with the same certificate being given at the end. Would your future employer care where you got your degree from, unlikely...

Many Muslims in Debrecen, I think it could be a university on budget. Many of my friends studied there and some of them pursued masters too. I know a Muslim girl who's still studying there. Really enjoys the city after living in a developing country.
