About the Program
This program is designed to make studying abroad as easy, enjoyable and educational as possible. We take students step-by-step through the application, passport and visa processes. We find very nice two or three bedroom furnished apartments for our students. When students arrive in Budapest between August 19 and 22, a faculty WSBE faculty member meets each student at the airport and takes them by taxi to their apartment.
