How did you decide on choosing the University of Dunaújváros and the study program?

 

Because my cousin was already studying at UOD the choice was quite simple for me, I knew from him that it was the best decision I could've made for my education and I still thank him for it. Regarding my major I have always wanted to build a career in management so Business Administration and management BA was an obvious choice.

 

What things did you learn at UOD that were most helpful to you?

 

UOD thaught me the most essential thing in life which is to live in community! I came straight from Cameroon to UOD, I never knew how it was to be with other cultures and nationalities. I've learnt the meaning of "together" in this University, I've got friends, joy and memories that I would cherish for a lifetime and I am forever grateful for that!

 

What is the relationship like between the students and the professors?

 

I still tell to my mom until this day that the funniest professor I've ever had in my life was in UOD. I believe that says a lot! They were simply amazing and incredibly patient with us. I must say a quality that I admire a lot.

 

What do you think of the campus of the university?

 

The first time I saw the university I remember thinking OMG this architechture is stunning. It just reminded me of buildings of the Ancient Rome. This beauty with a touch of modernity and technology as per the infrastructures and furnitures in the interior.

 

What do you think of the extracurricular activities (programs, events, excursions) at UOD?

 

Oh God, those crazy parties at UOD! J Loved them, miss them. I think this is something everyone needs to experience in order to understand. Events were always inclusive of every cultures which is important to mention, each nation was represented and appreciated. PS: You will also love UOD Excursions, so many places in Hungary I would have never known if it wasn't for those excursions. Truly miss that!

 

How well did UOD prepare you to enter the workplace?

 

I have studied Business Administration and management BA at UOD and I can truly say now that I'm Commercial Manager that I'm so glad I had this sort of foundation at UOD. I can't tell you how many time I came accros things that I have been thaught there it was simply mind-blowing. However I must say personally the most important thing for me will always be the "sense of community" being together as one that I've learnt at UOD and in my opinion this prepares you to enter anywhere.

 

What advice would you give to prospective students who are considering to apply to UOD?

 

DO IT! Honestly it has been the best decision of my life and I know you will have the same testimony at the end of this journey!
