Universität Wien (UNIVIE)

If you are looking for the typical college campus lifestyle, this is NOT the university for you. There is not really a campus, but more so buildings throughout the inner city...

There are many clubs along the Ring (Vienna´s center is surrounded by a big ring), like Chelsea (with great life concerts) or B72. But the place to go is Flex, near the Danube canal, with funny partys and other events. Vienna is the city of cafes as well. In Hawelka Cafe (Dorotheergasse) you can enjoy the traditional atmosphere of an austrian cafe. I also enjoyed Hummel cafe (Josefstädterstrasse) and Kandinsky cafe (Lerchenfelder Straße, near Pfeilheim, my residence).

Make sure you insurance covers your stay in Austria. Also keep in mind that you will be spending a lot more money there. Living with an Austrian student(s) seems to have been more fun as the student housing is often crouded and noisy. I found my room via the internet!

Choose the bank carefully! some banks have high administrative costs, but some have special accounts for students only, inexpensive

I was very satisfied with the housing, although it took me around 45 minutes to get to my university building.

It would be advisable to buy a semester ticket.It enables to travel as much as we want, where we only wish and it is cheaper in comparison with a week ticket.
