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

The industry thing is sad though. They're kind of economically deadlocked

I have no idea where you're getting this from. Iceland is one of the wealthiest countries in the world. Per capita, obviously.

And I think you're getting your bubbles mixed up.

    Perhaps. This was Wikipedia stuff I read in like 2018. It said they had put money into a video game studio and internet companies. I can't claim to know how they've faired since.

    What else would they have been doing? Their economy is mostly tourism otherwise, right?
