Approaching the end of the second semester International Office of the University of Dunaújváros organized an excursion to the nice and beautiful Szeged for international students of the university.

 

 

Thanks to the city’s pleasant atmosphere and the nice sunny weather we spent the whole excursion in a great mood. Szeged is one of the most beautiful cities of Hungary. As an old city it has many-many nice tourist attractions to see. Thanks to the University of Szeged’s trainees we got three guides who were accompanying us around the Cathedral and the city center.

After the long tour we had a longer lunch break when everyone could take something to eat and explore the downtown individually. Lunch helped everybody to recover a little bit so we could go on and continue our trip. We took the bus and travelled to the other side of Szeged over the river Tisza. Shortly we arrived to our final destination the Botanic Garden of Szeged. There were a plenty of different attractions such as a Japanese garden, a little lake with full of lilies, a tropical house and an interesting butterfly-house. The relaxing program was the best way to close the exhausting day.

 

According to the continuous great mood and students’ feedbacks the trip was a big success. We hope that everyone will remember the trip as a nice memory and we also hope that we will be able to have so much more great times together.

 

 

Before the beginning of the exam period, Student Union of the University of Dunaújváros invited the students of the institution for the semester’s last big event the Dorm-day 2k18.

 

 

In the events organized by the Kerpely Antal Dorm, the sport was the main focus during the morning. Students could try themselves in three different activities: futsal, table tennis and beer-pong. In the event every participant got a T-shirt that was designed by the Student Union. In the afternoon a different type of activity took place, the cooking competition. The whole day event is very popular among both Hungarian and International students every year. In the evening the party has continued in the B-club, where DJ. Juhász Laci were „spinning the records”.

The University of Dunaújváros and the Foundation for the Higher-Education in Dunaújváros have indicated their intention to collaborate towards the City Council of Dunaújváros, therefore they hand in the application as a consortium for the call “Elaborating local climate strategies, shaping minds concerning the awareness of the climate”.
