In Austria I am still living with my family and therefore I do not have to pay for food and housing with my own money. It is, however, a great experience to have a own household that has to be managed.

Course recommendations
I am enroled in a course named International Business Management Studies - the requirements are slightly different from my home university as you have to do a lot of presentations, group work and report writing. Courses are generally not very difficult but possibly time-consuming.

Personal comments
In the beginning it might be difficult and confusing for exchange students to make their timetables. More help and support could be offered in this area.

Overall
I wish I had known...
When going on exchange, many things are different and maybe more difficult than they are used to be at home. I did not have any expectations before I came here, therefore I will only take positive experience back home :)

As everyone in the Netherlands seems to speak English fluently and almost perfectly, communication is not a problem at all! Dutch could be learned at university and has actually improved quite significantly since the beginning.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
If you are lucky to share your flat with a nice person, an apartment is the best choice for going on exchange! You can design the rooms according to your own taste and furthermore you have enough privacy and space if you need some time for yourself.

Personal comments
The university is concerned about finding accomodation for all exchange students. Whether they lived in a room in the dormatory or shared a flat - most of them were really satisfied about the housing facilities offered. One negative remark - the final payment was more than initially stated and expected.
