I broke my leg skiing early in the semester and wound up in the hospital for three days and in a full-leg cast for three weeks. Luckily, it was all covered by the health insurance required by my program.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
As an international student it's best to live with a lot of other students for social reasons. The housing I had was one of the farthest from the city center, but the city is not that large to begin with.

Austria is probably not the best location to learn German. Austrians and Southern Germans speak with a distinct accent that can be difficult to comprehend. As great a city as Salzburg is, I would not choose it again to learn German.
