Personal assessment
Type of housing: Student Hall
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Student Hall
Why? It was exactly what I needed, and I had a great time there!
Personal comments:
If you go through the "ÖAD" (Österreichischer Austauschdienst), it is easy and you have to worry about almost nothing, but then make sure you got enough information about the halls you selected, before sending your preferences on their website (http://www.oead.ac.at). From my experience, "Haus Doebling" is really nice (very well located, cheap, clean and great to meet people from all over the world).

Type of housing: halls
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: halls
Why? not the nicest place to live, but you meet loads of people
Personal comments:
was cheap and cheerful. not the place to go if you're loking to get lots of work done, as it was a party atmosphere. Also not as restrictive as UK halls. However was v badly organised by the OAD, who are hopeless; this can sometimes work to your advantage (not having to pay a deposit) but more often than not works agains you.

HOUSING

Personal assessment
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why? Good way of meeting new people. Being located in the centre of a magnificent city is brilliant. Lots of freedom.
Personal comments:
The accommodation ranges from excellent to barely acceptable. However, most homes are in an ideal location and it's worth it for the short time we get to stay abroad. Price is also good. Exchange students get priority which is great. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Type of housing: dorm- there is no campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: same place- dorm
Why? You are with other students all the time- you meet people not only from Austria but from all over the world
Personal comments:
It had everything you need- kitchen, bathroom, etc. However, it's very different than a dorm in the U.S., but that is part of the experience. I can still smell the hallways, and it will always be in my heart:) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The housing organizations work quiet good..they're well organized and cheap.The only problem is that you have to ask for a room too much time before you want it and that's why I didn't manage to have one when I came in Vienna. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
