Hi, I made a post about how I have a chance to study for a semester in Budapest, Hungary and it sounds really cool, but there is one other option and thought I'd ask just so I don't dismiss it immediately: Reykjavík, Iceland. I also know next to nothing about Iceland, whether it's safe for students, if it's welcoming, if it's a good place for an American to study at, so might as well ask about it as well. It also sounds fascinating admittedly

Hmm I guess I want deep history and culture, not to be corny lol

    Then Budapest is the obvious choice. Iceland does have an interesting history, but you won’t see it if you don’t actively look for it. Especially Reykjavik is a pretty modern city.

    Budapest was one of the biggest cultural centers of of Southeastern Europe for centuries. You’ll find history and the cultures it was influenced by everywhere you go.

    Edit: I don’t know if this also applies to non-EU students, but lots of universities are partnered with each other and allow you to take one semester abroad. Might be worth looking into
