What’s your favorite memory from your time at the University of Pécs? My favorite memory was organizing once an international cultural day at the support service office (PTE Támogató Szolgálat) as I was a volunteer there for 3 years. I created a presentation about Egypt for the students with special needs alongside the office employees and ESC Spanish volunteer back then and cooked some Egyptian iconic food. The happiness in those students' eyes was indescribable! |

Was there a class, professor, or project that really stuck with you? Professor László Bujtor for sure, who taught us Palaeontology. This guy was a human before being a teacher. I will never forget for the rest of my life a specific situation when I was working in a bakery at some period of my life to sustain my life and I finished my shift there at 7 AM and did not sleep at all and went to the faculty directly for the final exam and just from the look on my face once he started to ask me questions, he realized there was something wrong and I told him the situation, then he was easy on me and graded me mainly according to my active attitude throughout the whole semester. |

If you were giving a campus tour, what “secret spot” would you show? The PTE support office for sure as I found out so many people did not even know it exists and the chemistry lab where you can smell pure ammonia :D |

If you could come back for a day as a student, what would you do first? Grab a kürtőskalács and go eat it at Széchenyi tér right in the center, where I can feel nostalgia with the multi-cultural interreligious landmarks surrounding me there. |
