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

economics (VWL) is generally not that overcrowded course, with makes the classes more interesting and the atmosphere more familiar than in business administration (BW/IBW)

Teachers should actually teach and not merely wait for students to prepare seminar papers and presentations..

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: Basic phrases
My level after: At ease in most situations
Personal comments:
Austria is a particular country to learn german because of the different dialects in the country. But it's also interesting because we are forced to stay concentrated all the time and after a periode we could understand pretty well the people.

I wish I had known...
that VWL was Economics and BWL Business Administration ;)
In my opinion:
Most people loved it.



During my experience abroad, I ...
Became familiar with another culture
KEY:
Happened all the time.
Happened quite a lot.
Happened a bit.
Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills
Met people from other countries
Became more independent
Partied a lot
Experienced a change in life
Advanced my studies/career
Personal recommendation:
The WU is a good university if you are interested in a particular area and want to enrich your knowledge. If you don't know what you want, you will get by, but it will bring you nothing. However, if you do have plans and career options and are prepared to work hard for it, the WU might indeed be your excellent stepping stone.



FINAL COMMENTS

I completed my undergraduate studies in Economics there and I think it was a great decision for my future. Vienna as a city is lovely, it is just waiting to be explored. Living there as a student is an unforgettable experience, because cultural activities, sports or languages are so many you actually won't have time to do them all!
