HOUSING    
by qvistman2, Luleå Tekniska Universitet, Lulea, Sweden
Business Studies, Erasmus
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: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? because I need some space and I do not think that sharing room with a stranger is a good idea for a longer period of time.
Personal comments:
There is no campus on the Vienna university, therefore the student housing is situated all over vienna. That is pitty, since it is more fun to live close to other students. However, the actual housing is good, there are many places to choose between, many of wihch are located near the center of Vienna.

STUDENT LIFE    
by Andrei, Copenhagen Business School, Copenhagen, Denmark
Marketing and Sales Management, Summer school based on scholarship from WU Wien
Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Personal comments:
The Bermuda Triangle is a never-exhausting source of joy. The beer fare in front of the City Hall, with projections of symphonic concerts running every night during the summer, is not a place to be missed. The hystoric attractions of the city will always keep you busy.

ACADEMIC    
by Gary, Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland
Business Studies, Erasmus
My academic experiences
Quality of courses
KEY:
Fantastic.
Pretty good.
Could've been a bit better.
Disappointing.
Variety of courses
Availability/access to resources
Interaction with teachers
Interaction with other international students
Interaction with local students
Course recommendations:
If you are an erasmus student try to do those courses organised by "ZAS" as they tend to be a lot easier than other courses for exchange students.



My opinion of the university assessment
Exams at end of course
KEY:
Liked it.
It was alright.
A bit annoying.
Didn't like it.
Exams throughout the course
Essays and/or projects at the end of course.
Essays and/or projects throughout the course
Overall
Personal comments:
There should have been more consideration for exchange students who wanted to study German courses. It was also very frustrating to find out that there were no clubs (eg. Football) to join within the college.

Language difficulties
Social
KEY:

I coped pretty well.
Sometimes it was difficult.
It was a constant struggle.
Educational
Administrative / Institutional
Overall
Language of instruction: German
Was learning German a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my German
How much did you improve your German?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after:
Personal comments:
Since most of my courses were in German, I learned to study in this language and to use special terms in many business areas. As I also attended some seminars, I had to interact in German, to prepare presentations and to work on projects with my Austrian colleagues, which I think, has helped to improve my communication skills.

EXPENSES    
by Robyn, York University, Toronto, Canada
Business Studies, University Agreement
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Personal savings
Other sources of funding:
None
Work opportunities:
It was not legal for me to work
Personal spending habits:
Food is definitely more expensive, but housing is a real deal in Vienna. There is no other big city in Western Europe that has such low rent. Expect about 300-375 euros for a single bedroom in a good location. It really gives you a lot more to spend elsewhere.
Food, Travel: was more expensive than at home.
Nightlife, Overall: was the same price as at home.
Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
none
