HOUSING

Humanities, Independent
Personal assessment
Type of housing: With a family
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: With a family
Why? because it is the best way to get in contact with other cultures and to learn the real language
Personal comments:
I have been following a Semester at this University as I aws working there as aupair. This means that I have been following German courses held for foreigners. I was very satisfided with it. In Salzburg I was awarded withe a certificate for German "Mittelstufe3". I didn-t ask the university to look for an accomodation for me.

STUDENT LIFE
by Michelle, Chapman University, Orange, United States

Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students interact with the local community without much university involvement
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Salzburg is not exactly the place to enjoy nitelife as most the local students go home on the weekends leaving the city desserted. There are a couple of bars in the city center, but not nearly enough as there could be. The NaWi fests put on by the University are not to miss as they are the best party Salzburg could ever offer.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The German language courses are very crowded and it's hard to learn with so many people. Computer labs are not as abundant as they should be so many times people have to wait in line to use a slow computer.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The courses I chose to take were not offered to regular University students or students who were not on my program. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
I had previous knowledge of German, and did improve greatly my spoken skill, however, my written skill did not improved as much as expected, as I could only attend German grammar classes. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
None Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
The Austrian rail network offers a Vorteils card which costs around 20 Euros and gives 50% off rail. Salzburg is also in a great location because it is serviced by all major trains on the Munich-Vienna lines. Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I would have "shopped around" more, compared programs in other places, sought out more opinions from others who had studied abroad. I learned a lot, but wish I had known some of it before I left. All in all, though, it's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything! In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Salzburg is a beautiful city, but if I had to do it over again, I would choose a larger metropolitain area. Salzburg is a little too quaint, too small to provide many of the experiences of a larger city. Since I wanted to perfect my German, I would also choose a school in the central, north or east of Germany where the language is spoken more clearly. FINAL COMMENTS
Ernest Hemingway said, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, you can take it with you. For Paris is a moveable feast." Salzburg is, too! Studying in Europe was one of the best experiences of my life. It's not for everybody. Many people don't want to be so far away for so long. But for those with the "Wanderlust," it can't be beat! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
