If you are going to stay for a semester you can open a bank account but it´s not that important, you can live without it.

Final comments
Travel as much as you can! go to Slovenia, it´s incredible. Hungary, Slovaquia, Italy, Germany, Czech Republic,... Save some money in advance if you want to go to all the possible places!! there are many discounts for the trains if you get the OEBB card, take it, it´s worth. Also it´s cheaper to rent a car between 4 to 7 people and make a fun road trip!

Housing
Type of housing: Students Residence
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Residence
Why?
Because there is where you meet people who are on exchange and you can arrange thousands of plans and parties. Also it´s easy to get an idea of what subjects people are taking which always help to have a friend in the same subjects...

It was a dorm at the Prater, the suburb is not that good at night but it´s safe and many students live at the same dorm. There many subway and tram stations. The problem was that some "study rooms" were closed and they only opened for the cleaning women coffee.
