Personal comments
Most of the students, professors and other academic staff I have interacted with had good knowledge of English. Some of the normal people, especially aged ones, wouldn't understand English. WU Wien provided intensive GErman courses throughout the program, which I have attended with pleasure.

Personal comments
Generally I found the academic organization as fairly good. It would be great to have more exercises during courses. The crash course of German is an unforgetable experience, and big fun at the same time.

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.
