Hi, I made a post about how I have a chance to study for a semester in Budapest, Hungary and it sounds really cool, but there is one other option and thought I’d ask just so I don’t dismiss it immediately: Reykjavík, Iceland. I also know next to nothing about Iceland, whether it’s safe for students, if it’s welcoming, if it’s a good place for an American to study at, so might as well ask about it as well. It also sounds fascinating admittedly

      Students visa allows part time, don’t remember the exact hours but around 18 per week I think. Employment prospects are pretty nice when going into hospitality or tourism but I’ve been out of the country for a while so I don’t know how easy it is to get a job. There’s also some work for disabled kids to be found, you could also find a role in your field if it’s a high demand field potentially. Also Icelandic in just not expected of people since it’s hard to learn so I wouldn’t worry about that.

        Thanks for the info.

        Haha, I would still learn it if I ever got there. Languages are cool, plus people are nicer if they see you make an effort to learn their language.
