Summary/Abstract: The purpose of this analysis is to provide insight into Hungarian secondary school students’ preferences related to the European Union (EU). The survey conducted among 18–19-year-old students was completed through interviews with teachers interested in geography education. In the positive perception of the EU, the four basic freedoms, especially the free movement of people, appeared most frequently. Nearly half of the unfavorable properties can be associated with social problems. The investigation revealed three pattern types: in addition to the preferred Western European and Mediterranean countries, the far less preferred Balkan Penin-sula and the block of countries neighboring Hungary appeared.
