Try to get out the most from your study abroad experience! Travel, go out but also try to get to know the culture, new people and enjoy your courses! I loved mine, they were really good and I think I learned a lot!

Travel Tips: there're cheap deals on the internet (southwest.com, hotels.com, expedia.com). Try to gather as much information as possible about your exchange university from former exchange students prior to your departure. This helps a lot for your preparation. Enjoy life on campus at N.C. State!!

Don't expect university to help when it comes to travelling or anything else. You must take initiative. If you're into independent planning you'll love it, otherwise better choose a different place.

travelling is the key. airplane tiks are really cheap and there are many outdoors orgs that will provide with all sorts of accomodation and equipment.

renting car: better to book online in Austria - cheaper!!!
flying: there are plenty of low-cost airlines in America
if you want to go on a journey over Thanksgiving you should book more than 4 months in advance - peak season
