The Usi-fest for Erasmus students was a legend and very good place to meet other Erasmus students - every friday! Eschenlaube was an Erasmus must for wednesday nights. Flann O'Brien - good food, Stern - personally my favorite, best cosmopolitans in the town, Parkhouse in Stadtpark for the summer months, Kulturhauskeller - funny place if you are there with your friends... And so on, I really could continue this list! If you are in Graz in autumn don't forget to try drink called "Sturm" - it is really stunning...

Final comments
It's easy to travelto other places, because it's so close to everything! Venice is just a nighttrain away, Budapest, Vienna and Salzburg are even nearer. We went to the beaches of Croatia over a extended week end and enjoyed sun, sea and good food.
The night life in the city is great with alot to choose from, not only student activities.

If you are in Graz you absolutely have to go to Las Tapas, a wonderful pub in the center of the city. If you are going to have a coffee you find the best one by Beanery, near the city park. My favourite cinema? Schubert! Why? Because it is in a "strategic" position, in the middle of the Bermuda Triangle.

It was pretty hard to do the exams because the time limit was rather strict compared to my home university. Bitte, mehr Zeit für ERASMUS-Studierende.. :)

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Because living in a shared flat meant that I was surrounded by Austrians, not by other Erasmus students as might have been the case had I stayed in university accomodation

Personal comments
As I was living in a shared private flat, I only have second hand experience of the actual university accomodation in Graz.
