I wanted to get a full experience so I crammed more entertainment in. The telephone however was way too expensive. I could call across the ocean cheaper than calling within the city.

Gary M
Housing
Type of housing: Student accommodation centre (Studentenheim)
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If I went back to Vienna I would hope to be working there. Therefore I would be able to pay more for rent and get more privacy. Also I now know my way around Vienna and so wouldnt ask the host Uni to help me find accommodation.

Personal comments
The "Studentenheim" that I lived in was truthfully second to none. My friends and I had no complaints at all throughout the year.Other than that I know that the University itself was very willing to help those students who were finding it difficult to find accommodation.

Personal savings

Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits
Food is definitely more expensive, but housing is a real deal in Vienna. There is no other big city in Western Europe that has such low rent. Expect about 300-375 euros for a single bedroom in a good location. It really gives you a lot more to spend elsewhere.
