Korea Herald in its November 17 issue mentioned the advantage of the study in Hungary quoting Mr. Böröcz László who is in charge of education in Hungarian Embassy in its article, ‘Studying in Hungary can be affordable.’ The living cost in Hungary is cheaper than other neighboring countries and, in particular, house rental fee is half of that in England, U.S.A. and Australia.
