I am wondering how they are getting on too. Instead of going to China and Korea, will students start going to Hungary instead?

yes maybe people from Europe will go to Hungary instead of going to China or Korea because the flight is much cheaper and also the studying fees are cheaper.
250 Euro/Month for studying fees and accomodation is quite cheap I think.

But in China or Korea you can play local strong kids, and in Hungary you are still playing with Europeans which you can do on kgs.

You can log onto tygem and play all the "local" kids + a lot of professionals (if you're strong enough)

If you're strong enough

The main benefit from studying at such a school is the daily input from professionals. This is a very important factor for improving. Strong opponents are also nice to have, but that is not a scarce resource.

Go and tell us if it is nice

I will probably go after the EGC. I will try to talk a bit with Kim-sabomnim in Finland and find out what it's like before I fully decide, though. I've already spent 3 months studying with him in S. Korea though, so I'm not too worried.

ah cool ^^
is his english good ?

Yeah, it's very understandable and he knows enough words to get his points across during reviews and lectures. No problems in that regard, really. I think the two female pros don't speak much English though.

The female pros look cute ^^

i would like to know if there is any information from the students of this center
thanks

Go Ju-Yeon's English is fine, she was at the Kidocup in Hamburg a week ago. As for Lee Young-Sin, you could ask some people who were at the European Go Congress 2010 - they should know.

I made a page on the centre at sensei's [sl=BadukCenter]Baduk Center[/sl]
