Universität Innsbruck (UIBK)

Using cash machines to withdraw money from an account at home ends up costing a fortune, so it is worth opening a bank account there, despite the linguistic stress it can cause. Internet banking was a life saver though, and HSBC were usually happy to ring me back if I needed to call them. Internet was provided in my halls of residence for free, along with a phone, although we did receive a bill for this at the end of the semester.

The quality of teachers is quite good, the atmosphere the same. The city is not the best for nightlife but it's good, enough for a year in erasmus (I missed some bars..) You cannot miss the ski in winter, and to walk in the mountains in summer. Go to as many parties as you can, to meet more people. But don't forget the studies. Very important is to travel a lot, not in the beginning of Erasmus but from February till July I visited more that 10 countries...for a portuguese every country seems to be near!

In summer is nobody (students) there, Account - in Raiffeisenbank - it is free, during 3 days after arriving - sich in der Polizei anmelden

I have nothing negative to say. The accomodation was very good. however there was not a place or room where all the students of the residence could be together to watch tv or smth. like that.

In general the housing provided by Wist was good however i heard stories about others who experienced difficulties with the organisation. My location was in a perfect location, only five minutes from the university however i shared a kitchen with about thirty people which wasnt so pleasant.
