|RAICS>  c) Senkit nem zavar az, hogy egyesek szerint a KEE/CEU(?) "a legjobb 
magyar egyetem", ill. "a hazai felsőoktatás ékköve"? (Mióta is jegyzik 
egyáltalán a szóbanforgó intézményt valamilyen rangsorban?) Akik ilyeneket 
állítanak, azok vagy nem jártak magyar egyetemre, vagy adják vissza 
értéktelen diplomájukat, vagy szégyelljék magukat a szinvonaltalan 
oktatási-kutatási tevékenyégükért!

CEU
Central European University (CEU) is an English-language university based in 
Budapest founded in 1991 by a group of visionary intellectuals – most of them 
prominent members of the anti-totalitarian democratic opposition. Accredited 
in the United States and Hungary, the CEU offers degrees in the social 
sciences, humanities, law, public policy, business management, environmental 
science, and mathematics. It is considered to be an important university in 
Central Europe for social sciences and humanities. Located in the heart of 
Central Europe – Budapest, Hungary – students can enjoy historical, cultural, 
and social diversity within a thriving capital. CEU occupies several 
buildings in a vibrant downtown neighbourhood just a few minutes from the 
Danube. CEU students come from over 100 countries across five continents 
meaning that there is no predominant national majority. This unique 
characteristic of the university is one of the most appealing aspects of 
student life. The library at CEU has an impressive on-site and digital 
collection particularly in the fields of social sciences and humanities. The 
library contains more than 255,000 documents in various formats and includes 
access to a range of academic databases. Annual events include the 
universities Autumn Sports Day, International Cultural Festival, Valentine's 
Day Ice Skating Party and the Danube Regatta. CEU also actively encourages 
and supports students offering a variety of interests and activities from 
chess and basketball to film and literature. Notable alumni include Srđan 
Cvijić, a Serbian political scientist, Ilir Dugoolli, the Ambassador of the 
Republic of Kosovo to Norway, and József Berényi, Chairman of the Party of 
the Hungarian Coalition.
