I wish I knew that the Atm link with AIB Ireland was not that good, but the surprise element was the good thing about the erasmus because you had to learn how to deal with bad situation fairly quickly. That is half the experience.

In Linz you will meet alot of diffrent erasmus students from alot of different cultures, this does not necessarly happen in all universitys. The International society (Refi) there was briliant the brought us all together more than once a week and those events they organised were memorable one for me:-)

Book your flights well in advance and go to a student place to buy them if you can.

I can give some travel tips: You can travel a lot in Austria, and also in other neighbour countries, as Hungary, Czech Republik, Germany, and Italy. Don't miss to travel a lot in the country, and you should go sking! Don't worry, if you don't understand the local dialect...it's terrible, but you can learn it!

I was lucky to become good mentors that helped me a lot in the beginning, but some people never met there mentors and had a hard time in the beginning to arrange everything. This could be improved. Otherwise I think we were good informed in time about the university.

I highly recommend going abroad to study while you gain so much new experience, meet new people, learn the language and so on. I would though make contacts from the host university before going to get useful tips and information. If I had the possibility I would definitely go again, but this time to improve my other language skills!

It is a quiet University, not very beautiful. LAnguage learning is good and there is a very good International Office and International Society who look after Erasmus student. If you have a problem, talk to them.

Best 4 months of my life. Unfortunately I didnt to much of the local Austrian people. They were a bit boring and dry. However, we made our own craic. Travel to border countries like Slovenia, Hungary and Slovakia. You won't be disappointed! Orgasmus Erasmus

Thanks for the language course. Maybe they should help foreign students to find something to work in the academic envinronment in order to earn thei living.
