ELB was founded to make you feel at home, by helping you before and after moving to Hungary.

In 2016, after an unforgettable Erasmus semester in Lisbon, a few Hungarian students came home inspired.

Their goal? To make sure international students in Budapest have just as incredible an experience—full of friendships, adventures, and memories that last forever.
