"The composition of the CEU student body went through many breathtaking changes over the years. What has been most striking in the last few years is the increasingly global reach of the University. This also became an important factor in the recognition given to CEU in the International ranking of universities and programs. When you discuss things in a classroom with ten students coming from four different continents, you quickly understand why that is considered such a major factor in adding value to your Education."

The largest group of people come from war-torn Syria but there are many from Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Nigeria, Eritrea, or Kosovo. The growing crisis has led to politically charged arguments about Europe’s open borders and sharing the burden. Disputes are heated not only about definitions of ‘migrants’ vs. ‘refugees’ but also what obligations – legal, moral, etc. - European states have in dealing with this crisis.
