I wish I had known...
I would have "shopped around" more, compared programs in other places, sought out more opinions from others who had studied abroad. I learned a lot, but wish I had known some of it before I left. All in all, though, it's an experience I wouldn't trade for anything!

Personal recommendation
Salzburg is a beautiful city, but if I had to do it over again, I would choose a larger metropolitain area. Salzburg is a little too quaint, too small to provide many of the experiences of a larger city. Since I wanted to perfect my German, I would also choose a school in the central, north or east of Germany where the language is spoken more clearly.

Final comments
Ernest Hemingway said, "If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life, you can take it with you. For Paris is a moveable feast." Salzburg is, too! Studying in Europe was one of the best experiences of my life. It's not for everybody. Many people don't want to be so far away for so long. But for those with the "Wanderlust," it can't be beat!

One can read and talk to everyone they want to find out as much as they possibly can before going abroad, but nothing prepares you for your personal experience more than just going and doing it.

If you're out to learn or improve you German language skills, Salzburg isn't for you. If you're out to have a exciting, cultural study abroad experience involving lots of travels, then it could be the right place.

In the summer make sure to visit all the lakes surrounding Salzburg. Also although it is pricey to travel around in Austria, Salzburg is only 5 minutes away from Germany, where train travel costs next to nothing - make sure to travel around Bavaria throughly.

Overall
University of Salzburg is the largest in the region, with over 18.000 students. The staff is very supportive and helpful, especially for international students. The classes are very good, small and interactive. The teaching is very research-oriented, so if you are looking to develop a career in research, this is the right university for you.
