The most fun college classes ever!
September 03, 2025by: Kaia Lefohn - United StatesProgram: Summer@BSME in Budapest, HungaryI never expected to study abroad in Hungary, but I was so glad I chose this program! The classes were inspiring and extremely fun, the teachers were great, and the students got along super well. There were only 10 of us, but that did not diminish the quality of the academics. This program reminded me that learning math can and should be a joyful experience, centered in discovery. I’m not much of a city person, but I loved Budapest with it’s old architecture, beautiful churches, and extensive public transportation system. One of the highlights for me was going to a math summer camp for a week. I learned cultural tidbits from the kids and was immersed in the Hungarian language (which I do not know!). I can’t speak highly enough about this program. If you are interested in math education, get out of your comfort zone and do BSME!
I'm excited to teach
