I got out of my comfort zone A student - Middlebury College View Entire Review
Academically, I gained several specified skills in CS that are not available to learn at Middlebury. Socially, I learned how to live in a bustling city in a downtown apartment and interact with a society and culture with a language different than my own. I was therefore 100% worthwhile.

I learned a lot about living independently in a country without having any knowledge of the Hungarian language.

I got out of my comfort zone and had a great time exploring and being in Europe for the first time. The classes were the perfect amount of rigor, where I didn't feel stressed but was learning a lot. A student - Wellesley College View Entire Review
Definitely worthwhile. I learned what it's like to actually be responsible for cooking for myself. I learned to avoid WizzAir (AVOID WIZZAIR!!!) and that RyanAir isn't as strict about its baggage size limits as it pretends to be. I traveled internationally by myself, navigated public transport in all sorts of languages, learned ... Claire - Wellesley College View Entire Review

About
Tailored to the needs of North American computer science and software engineering undergraduates in their sophomore through senior years, AIT offers semester-long programs to bridge the gap between the world of academia and business. Classes are taught in English by eminent Hungarian professors, most of whom have had teaching experience in North American universities. Teachers closely monitor each individual student's progress. Considerable time is devoted to problem solving and encouraging student creativity. Emphasis is on depth of understanding rather than on the quantity of material. The academic program is based on a philosophy of small and intimate classes, close collaboration of students and faculty, and hands-on work through group projects.
