Type of housing: On campus

Arranged by: Independently - My choice

If returning, I would choose: On campus

Why? As you have no car you don't have any other choice in the US

Personal comments:
The accommodations are extremely expensive compared to Austria.

Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community

Activities, Travel: Takes place mostly within the university/student environment

Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Personal comments:
6th street although highly recommended by former exchange students was very disappointing. I would suggest to go on Fraternity parties on West Campus. At the beginning of the semester as they want to reruit new members they are free even for male students. During the semster they are closed for male students if they are not a member of the fraternity but they are all the time open and free for girls.

Course recommendations:
Read the course description carefully and register for some Economic classes they are outstanding and very interesting.

Personal comments:
For domestic students International students are a real threat as we increase the average grades that's why it's very difficult to get to know them better. I think the American grading system should be changed.
