Course recommendations:
if you are in the same program i was, don't worry about the choice of courses before you get there. you'll have to take what's left anyway, because locals book their courses about 4 months before you can. you'll find satisfying courses though, so don't worry and be flexible!

the courses are evaluated in a different way than they do it in austria, but it's probably the better one...

Personal comments:
it is hard enough to write all final exams within a few days. instructors should think about changing the due dates for term papers and (final) presentations. it is almost impossible to get sleep if these obligations add to the final exams.

Had the feeling that the worst mark a student could get was -B... probably better to make more differentiation with view to performance in class and quality of assignments handed in

Course recommendations:
If you (as an exchange student) are interested in taking courses of the prestigious accounting program, be tough and consequent when registering! They don't want you there, but if you ask long enough and the right people (Talk directly to the dean!), you have a chance to get into some very interesting courses!

Course recommendations:
The first week is syllabus week - the teachers are mostly discussing the syllabus and are done after 10 minutes, so you have enough time to go to as many classes as possible! I really recommend to talk to the professors, because many classes sound nice after reading the description, but are more or less boring.
