Personal comments

Most of the students, professors and other academic staff I have interacted with had good knowledge of English. Some of the normal people, especially aged ones, wouldn't understand English. WU Wien provided intensive GErman courses throughout the program, which I have attended with pleasure.

Personal comments

We were all exchange students so we were pretty at the same level of language. We really didn't have any problems with communicating with others: professors, local students etc. If we had some problems with expressing ourselves in local language, we could explain the problem in English.
