Course recommendations
All the courses within the English program are pretty good. 'Business Strategy' was pretty difficult and time consuming when I was there. I recommend to take seminars and pro-seminars instead of lectures. More interesting, more team work.

I had to interact much more in English than in German because I had only a few classes in German and all the exchange students spoke English or French....therefore, less need for me to speak German.

Night spots : Sophien Sale (huuuuuge!), Maria's Roses (nicely decorated with roses), Havana Club (in a palace downtown Vienna), Places not to be missed : Onyx (located in the Haas House, chic and expensive, but you can see famous people from time to time), Sacher Hotel (order the Sacher torte! to get in take the side door...you will be better welcomed than if you get in through the front door)
Events not to be missed : university Ball, City Hall Ball (you have to know how to dance the walz)
Best cafe : Central Cafe
