Final comments
Make sure you insurance covers your stay in Austria. Also keep in mind that you will be spending a lot more money there. Living with an Austrian student(s) seems to have been more fun as the student housing is often crouded and noisy. I found my room via the internet!

Personal comments
"Das Mobel" - have special "hangover" breakfast buffets on Saturdays and Sundays, and you can sit and eat all day for one price! Also "Shebeen", very international, and very good Cocktails. Another one is "Weinbar", which is a very local place where they only serve wine and everyone throughs their peanutshells on the ground.
