Personal recommendation
I honestly recommend this school for it's international atmosphere and location. On the other hand, if you are more interested in academic matters and connecting with locals, this is your school too.

Final comments
Vienna is amazing what comes to its location. Travelling is easy and you can do many ex tempore trips with your exchange friends. Memories last forever.

Personal comments
Vienna as German-speaking city offers wide chances to practice your German but also English with the international students from almost every country in the world. However, this makes the speaking German rather hard since majority of the exchange students are not able to speak German. As a result, it depends on your own motivation to contact with locals to improve your German skills.
