Egyetemváros (literally: University Town) is the part of Miskolc, Hungary where the buildings of the University of Miskolc stand.
Its area is approximately 850.000 m² and can be found between the Avas hill and Miskolctapolca. It was designated in February 1950 as the place for the university which was being moved from Sopron to Miskolc.
The main buildings of the university, the library, the canteen, the dormitories and the sports facilities can be found in University Town, surrounded by a large park.
Not all of the institutions of the university are to be found in this district. The College of Dunaújváros was a faculty of the university between 1969 and 2000. The Comenius Teacher's College, which became a faculty of the university in 2000, is in Sárospatak.
The Béla Bartók Music Institute, which joined the university in 1997, resides in the Palace of Music in the downtown, while the Imre Hajnal Health Institute (founded in 2001) is in Hejőcsaba.
Famous quotes containing the words university and/or town:
“Like dreaming, reading performs the prodigious task of carrying us off to other worlds. But reading is not dreaming because books, unlike dreams, are subject to our will: they envelop us in alternative realities only because we give them explicit permission to do so. Books are the dreams we would most like to have, and, like dreams, they have the power to change consciousness, turning sadness to laughter and anxious introspection to the relaxed contemplation of some other time and place.”
—Victor Null, South African educator, psychologist. Lost in a Book: The Psychology of Reading for Pleasure, introduction, Yale University Press (1988)
“Then the owner of the house became angry and said to his slave, Go out at once into the streets and lanes of the town and bring in the poor, the crippled, the blind, and the lame.’”
—Bible: New Testament, Luke 14:21.
