Dorm and living costs

MOME dorm

"The number of initiatives that are offered at MOME to uncover your talents simply amazes! I have a chance to make a social impact via hackathons and can get inspired through the talks of industry leaders. I can discover the gems of Hungarian cinema as a part of NFI Film Club and even unwind from studies with the help of exceptional sporting facilities of MOME. All that - at state-of-the-art campus, located in the greenest area of stunning Budapest creates a stimulating learning environment and once in a lifetime experience.” - Iryna, IxD MA


“I’m living in the dormitory, which is renovated and clean. It’s located in the quiet part of the city. If I want to visit vibrant Pest and adore the architecture there, I just jump into a tram on the stop, which is in 2 minutes walk from the dormitory. It’s pretty convenient.” - Diana, IxD MA
