Personal comments
Since most of my courses were in German, I learned to study in this language and to use special terms in many business areas. As I also attended some seminars, I had to interact in German, to prepare presentations and to work on projects with my Austrian colleagues, which I think, has helped to improve my communication skills.

Personal comments
For people comming from the Eastern Europe, the accomodation is rather expensive, even if it is very good. But if you have friends in the town, they can help you to rent a flat or room un the city which is sometimes even cheaper than dormitory.

Personal comments
the accomodation was well organized. the room was nice but a little bit too small for two persons; quite expensive too. very good location; near to the centre. name of the apartment house: Haus Erasmus. good fun for international students; sometimes a little bit noisy, crowded pub at the ground floor.

there is too much burocracy. it's not very easy to plan a semester at the WU. sometimes you just follow what the others do.
