Ok so, I am going to be a first year Mechanical engineering student soon (in like September) and I am SUPER excited, but also scared

And I was confused, which device should I take? I have a this laptop (4GB ram, 256 GB SSD, intel core i3, flagship ASUS model 7 year ago). It used to be able to convert into a tablet and everything, unfortunately the touch screen stopped, however it's still a powerhouse and can run stuff like graphic design software.

So, should I buy a tablet beside it? Like I was thinking of taking both my laptop, an HDD to store stuff, and a tablet too so that I can use it in my technical drawing course? I am lowk terrified because I'm going to be absolutely alone (no parent no friends) and I wanna be prepared for it

So, I have made the final decision to come and study here, and I am honest very excited but also nervous;

I wanted to know, besides landing in budapest and then traveling here, can I also land in Austria and then come here after I get my visa?

Like for example if there are supermarkets nearby or student activities, and if there are any rules I should know about (like if something is seen as offensive). I currently live in Saudi Arabia; however, I am not Saudi.

Thankfully I have plenty of advice from the r/StudyinHungary subreddit, however I am also interested in adapting to where I am going to be. I would greatly appreciate being informed about any rules (or unwritten rules) about society over there which I may not know about.

Of course, I will definitely start working on my Magyar knowledge to get around town, but any advice which would make my life easier as an international student is welcome! Right now, I am 18 years old and planning to leave for Szombathely at the end of august to pursue Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering.

So, I applied into BSc of Mechanical engineering, which is pretty cool. I am sure I may get accepted, and I was looking at apartments near the university since I am not interested in dorms, and they were a little pricey for me at least.

I was wondering if anyone has also applied to this university, and if anyone would be willing to be roomates? I will start studying in like September over there. I also got accepted into ELTE, but I am really skeptical about the location being in Szombathely and if I would be able to fare in a less-international city
