About this website

I started this website in February 2005. The layout was changed in 2007 and again (the current website layout) in December 2009.
When I came to Budapest and started my medical studies – in the fall of 2003 – I felt that information was too random, things were unpredictable and going from the extremely structured life in the US things seemed chaotic.
My fellow students and I ended up asking all kinds of people about how to study, where to go to fix various things and trying to make life in Budapest easier. I decided to make a website to:
1) help spread notes and handouts from class to all my fellow students (not just those with connections)
2) give prospective students an overview of the curriculum and life as a medical student in Budapest
3) help students that feel lost in a big, but amazing city – both academically and otherwise
4) spread some innocent joy to the word with my views on life in Hungary!

Since I began this project in 2005 I’ve received numerous emails and friendly comments from people. This gives me the motivation to continue working on this website – now more than 5 years running!
