I chose CEU partially because I wanted to go beyond

the geographical regions that are standard choices
for Scandinavian people. CEU has a small but very
active and well-connected math department. My
advisor here also works at the respected Alfred
Renyi Institute of Mathematics and there are
a good number of other CEU partnerships with
Renyi that result in interesting research and
topical seminars and conferences.
