Spending time in nature proved especially beneficial for the students, offering both physical and mental rejuvenation. The experience of hiking through the forest and encountering animals up close brought joy and a sense of calm—reminding everyone that nature has a powerful, positive effect on the soul.
This spring break program once again highlighted the importance of community, exploration, and well-being, ensuring that international students feel connected not only to the university, but also to the natural and cultural environment of Sopron.
