Semesters in Budapest: Alex Hazeltine

I applied for and participated in the Budapest Semesters in Mathematics Program. I chose BSM because of the number theory courses, but I also enjoyed taking other courses like combinatorics and set theory. I also managed to get away from the math at times and explore Europe. I got to visit many different places like Croatia, Munich, Strasbourg, Paris, and a few other places, and a couple of my favorite memories were the traditional dances at the Busójárás festival in Mohács and a 15 mile bike ride from Budapest to Szentendre. I met a fantastic group of friends from all over the world during my semester, and I definitely recommend looking into Budapest. -Alex Hazeltine, studied in Budapest, Hungary.
