6. Money withdrawal and exchange
The currency of Hungary is called Forint (abbreviated in the international format as HUF). We suggest that you retrieve cash from an ATM with your card as soon as you arrive in Hungary. You can also safely exchange money at official exchange offices in the street, or at the train station, bus station or the airport. The ones at the airport are likely to be more expensive than those in the city.
There are two places on campus where you can withdraw money from your account. Two ATMs, one in the building "Ambrosianum" and one at the main gate (see the campus map), as well as at the post office on campus located next to the building "Questura" (open from Monday to Friday 9am-5pm).
You can exchange money at CIB Bank in Piliscsaba, the small town the campus is located at (Address: 1 Kinizsi Street, Piliscsaba, which is at the corner of Kinizsi and Bajcsy-Zsilinszky streets. Open: Monday-Thursday 8am-4pm, Friday 8am-3pm).
