First Week at CEU

Your first day at CEU will start with a meeting with the head, faculty, staff and fellow students of your department. Throughout the rest of the week, you will go through a series of in-person meetings and the CEU General Orientation program (Pre-Session).

The Pre-Session includes an orientation about requirements for residence in Hungary, health insurance and housing arrangements. The Budget and Finance Office advises on banking arrangements and various payment procedures. You will also be introduced to a range of advisory and counseling services such as psychological counseling and career advising.

Information on how to become involved in student activities and with the CEU Student Union (SU) will be introduced by members of the SU and Student Services staff. The Alumni Relations Office helps organize meetings between new students and alumni, while departments supplement the central Pre-Session activities with department-oriented events and introductory courses. See also the CEU Student Life brochure.
