Karl Franzens Universität Graz (KFUNIGRAZ)

The arrangements of housing were really well taken care of. However, I was not totally satisfied with my apartment since it was from time to time really cold and one couldn´t do anything about it. The good thing that I lived in an apartment was that I lived with an Austrian man so I could speak when ever I wanted. However, there are many good aspects also in other options. For example, in campus there were free internet connections and, of course, one had a super oppotunity to meet lots of friends...

Accomodation is organised very well at this UNiversity. Exchange students just fill in a form and they are given somewhere to stay. This saves a lot of trouble. We were also given the choice whether we wanted private accomodation or student accomodation.

There were a lot of facilities for students (computerrooms,libraries,studentsrestaurant).Only the acces was sometimes hard. I´ve had to wait several times because al computers were taken. I couldn´t find any vegetarian meals in the restaurant.

I've heard from other students in Graz that the students'accommodation were terrible... I think everything is hard at the beginning, we just have to get use to it! Nothing is impossible! I spent 1 year in Exeter in England; the accommodation were terrible! the bedroom looked like a jail of 9m², sharing kitchen and "bathroom" with 11 other unknown people... maybe you won't believe it, but it has been the most wonderful year I spent! Just take it easy!

This year I lived in a house with one spanish and one bosnian girl.Apart from the fact that it was great to meet new people I learnt about different cultures as well not to mention a little of both their languages too.My rent was very reasonable and my landlady was very good to all of us.

As I was living in a shared private flat, I only have second hand experience of the actual university accomodation in Graz.
