experiences

I've always known that choosing or finding a convenient place to live is not easy. But so much?!

My university life has started in August when I realized I hadn't got a dorm place.
So I started to find a suitable sublet, you know, which is close to the university, cheap, friendly, well-equipped and so on. But I had to wake up from this dream soon because in the middle of August it was impossible to find such a dig or even a dig. After 2 weeks attempt, I got a letter which let me know I had a chance to get into the dorm after all. I tried it.
But you can imagine my story doesn't end with it. I was rejected.

So, I had to continue looking for a flat. It was only 3 (!!!) days before the beginning of the school.
Finally, I have found a correct flat. It almost met with my requirements. It wasn't cheap or close to the university, but it looked good it was equipped at least. When I went to see it, an amiable and friendly girl opened the front door. I decided to move in.
I shouldn't have done it. After only one week, I got to know the girl. She didn't attend her classes, she was an alcoholic (I don't want to hurt anyone's feeling about being a drinker because I don't care until I have to live together with her, but she was serious) at the age of 20. She didn't do anything all day except drinking, playing on the computer and sleeping. If it wouln't be enough, she always came to my room, used my stuff and she hadn't got any topics to speak about but drinks.
I have spent 2 months there that I have spent looking for another flat. When I've gave it up, my phone rang. I was informed that I could move into Jakabhegyi Dorm. I have to confess, I didn't know what to do. Because I haven't heard good news about university dorms. But after 2 weeks thinking, I moved in.

My first week there was interesting and extremely fatiguing. On Wednesday (which is a party day such as Monday or Tuesday) one of my roommate went to a party with her friend. We agreed that her friend could sleep in our room because she couldn't go home. But in the night, they came back with 2 boys who were extremely rude and loud. When I woke up from my most beautiful and opened my eyes, another pair of eyes looked into mine. I was shocked. And he friendly asked me what I was doing. Jeez! What else at 5 a.m.?
So, I have experiences about both way of living. I don't want to say that I am an unlucky person, because I always meet weird people.
My life isn't boring at least!:)

Well Barbi, I do not envy you, and I know I will never be able to understand how you feel, because I was born in Pécs. Trully wonderful how students, who lived elsewhere, can conform to the new environment and conditions in a few weeks. I am 18, but still there are places I cannot find in 'my' city. Nonetheless, this is a perfect opportunity for gaining experience. Be sure to enjoy your stay here (apart from the bad start)!

Nice story, Barbi. :) Last year I also lived in a sublet, but now I live in a dorm. I can say that living in a dorm is much more comfortable for me than anything else: it's cheap, it's very close to the school, I can get to know other people as well and I can get all the needed information very fast. I hope, you'll enjoy your stay there. :))
