It is worth to take a taxi when you're 4 people because it ends up being the same price than the tram/bus ticket at night.

"Das Mobel" - have special "hangover" breakfast buffets on Saturdays and Sundays, and you can sit and eat all day for one price! Also "Shebeen", very international, and very good Cocktails. Another one is "Weinbar", which is a very local place where they only serve wine and everyone throughs their peanutshells on the ground.

Housing
Type of housing: Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: residence
Why?
It´s the best way to meet austrian students and other foreign students. I think living together with foreign people is a great experience.
