Pros

They leave you alone and the are helpful with paperwork.

Cons

they don't help you or communicate with you at all, keep raising the fee and the school does everything, so its unsure what you are paying for. I received maybe 3 emails this whole year and they say you have to pay more for the first year for the orientation, but i was not given an in person orientation and received no discount.

Pros

If you don't spend everything on drinking and other vices, you can live on it and gain experience. There is an in country coordinator who is very helpful. There is an orientation before you go to your placement. Cost of living is lower than in the USA and you get a free, if old, apartment.

Cons

$2500 placement fee first year but it covers all the paperwork and the horrible Hungarian bureaucratic slowness. Doesn't cover airfare. Some of the placements are very remote - probably good for a quiet person, introvert, etc. But they are very close to Romania, Serbia, etc so you can travel.
