Fachhochschule Kufstein Tirol (FHS-KUFSTEIN)

First of all, say that before coming here I was not sure if I had chosen well the place to do my ex-change, but after 6 months here I know that I couldn't have chosen any better place. It's a very good place to travell because it's in the middle of Europe, one hour from big cities like Munich and Innsbruck and one hour and one half from Salzburg. Italy, Switzerland and the Cezch Republic are also near. Second, people in Kufstein are very nice. In the school you have to work, but it's easy going, it's much easier than others schools and we have a lot of free time, but at the same time we are learning a lot since the lessons are very active (we have to work a lot during the lessons in groups projects) And last thing, if you like winter sports, this is your paradise! There is a skii resort only 20 minutes from the town and during the skii season the skii buses which take you there are for free! I only have one word to describe the skii in the Alps...AMAZING!!! Finally, you have to come to Kufstein!!! You'll love it, everybody does!

If you go to FH Kufstein, prepare to travel and go to places, because after two weeks Kufstein is really boring place. The University is in many ways bad, but on the other hand it's really easy. Nightlife is also quite boring. There are like two places worth going to, and they are... well, they could have been better. But I think it's the people and traveling that matter after this erasmus experience is over.

In Spain everybody thinks that Austria is an expensive country, and it is, but as I said before, Kufstein is a small town and it's not so much expensive. Anyway, to save money what you can do is doing your shopping at Hofer (the cheapiest supermarket in town) or in Interspar and buying the Spar products and those ones in sale, I'm doing this and I spend almost the same as in Spain

Well, I was lucky because I got a place in the International Residence, but many exchange students didn't and they had to look for a flat by themselves and I can say that the experiences we had are very different. In general, all those students who stayed in a flat during the first semester went back home, but all the ones who stayed in one of the residences decided to stay longer because we were really enjoying our time here.

It is a great experience of studying abroad, meeting new people, countries, cultures etc.

it's a wonderful life experience! living here in austria give you the possibility to: - be indipendent (but not alone) - try a new lifestyle - meet a new culture - meeting people from all around the world - learning languages - living close the natural world - having a lot of fun (parties...) - practice many sports (extreme sports too) - attending courses in a very good university - make a lot of life experience - let you grow up like a person
