Personal comments
Well organised, although check small print of accom. contract carefully as you need to phone WIST (the company who arrange Austrian halls of residence) a set number of days before you arrive to confirm your accomodation. This can trip you up (It did me!) Very nice rooms though, and a chance you may end up sharing.

Flights to Innsbruck can be pretty expensive, I'd recommend going with a budget airline to Salzburg, then get the train from there to Innsbruck. Otherwise you end up spending a fortune.

In the beginning the Austrian dialect is pretty hard to understand, however, after a few weeks you're getting used to it

Personal comments
Innsbruck is the capitol of Tirol and "Tirolerisch" can be somewhat more difficult than German. This, however, made it even more interesting to improve my German, to be able to understand and make myself understood in both traditional German-language speaking countries as well as the ones with types of German-dialect.
