HOUSING    
by Miriam, Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, Vienna, Austria
Business Studies, CEMS
Personal assessment
Cost
KEY:
Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Saltis
Why? nearer to University
Personal comments:
Die Zimmer sind wohnlich mit eigenem Bad und WC. Die Küche teilt man sich mit 10-12 anderen Studenten, jedoch ist die Küche gut eingerichtet mit all dem was man zum Kochen braucht. Weiters sind zwei Herde vorhanden, sodass es kaum zu Engpässen kommt. Das Wohnen in Lappis hat auch seine Vorteile, so kommt man beispielsweise leichter in Kontakt mit Studenten anderer Studienrichtungen und ist direkt im Grünen. Allen, die sich für ein Zimmer in Saltis interessieren, kann ich nur raten, sich möglichst früh um einen Platz zu bewerben, da diese sehr beliebt sind.
