I wish I had known that Law Faculty was beside Economics Faculty, I would have studied more law courses (because I´m studying Law and Economics). Apart from that I was well-informed thanks to the university web and previous contacts with local students.

Personal recommendation
For housing, I would suggest to apply in ÖAD, the student housing service, they will deal with the residence which best fits for you. And talk to the Erasmus Association, they organise travels, parties and other events.

If you live in Vienna you will be close to surprising cities in East Europe, like Prague (magic place not to be missed), Bratislava, Budapest (one of the most beautiful cities I´ve ever been). Vienna´s town council organises lots of cultural events, concerts, street markets...

Personal comments
was cheap and cheerful. not the place to go if you're loking to get lots of work done, as it was a party atmosphere. Also not as restrictive as UK halls. However was v badly organised by the OAD, who are hopeless; this can sometimes work to your advantage (not having to pay a deposit) but more often than not works agains you.

Realize before you go that nothing having to do with Uni is centrally located. Be prepared to trek all over town during the first few days getting everything organized!

Take time to travel around because Vienna is greatly located : Prag, Budapest, Venice, Milan, Munich, Krakow, etc. And, of course, visit EVERYTHING in Vienne. It's a beautiful city!!
