I was coaching the Graz RFC at the time, so that was fun. I reccomend O'Carolines, Flann O'Brien's and 3 Monkeys. Too much fun. Oh, the parties at the Sportzentrum are wicked fun, too.

Housing
Type of housing: Flat
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
For me I had a horrible roommate. It really was luck of the draw, but I tried repeatedly to change rooms to no avail. The WIST dorms are very nice, however I reccomend paying extra for a single room.

Go with the single room. Having a roommate is hard enough when you share a common culture...
