Personal comments
It had everything you need- kitchen, bathroom, etc. However, it's very different than a dorm in the U.S., but that is part of the experience. I can still smell the hallways, and it will always be in my heart:)

Personal comments
All the courses (Industrial Economy, Macroeconomics, Public Finance..) were in English, I think it´s neccesary to speak English if you study Economics. Learning German was easy because every day I met many austrian students, in fact most of them were really interested in knowing more about my home culture and habits.

Personal comments
I must admit that I didn't make the best use of the chanche to speak German and I guess that's because I speak English very good so sometimes I just prefered to speak it,according to the situatin..A second reason is that Vienna is full of foreigners and erasmus student so..sometimes English was just the easiest way!

Coming to Vienna, I had no prior knowledge of German. Now I can pretty much manage throughout the day alone- something I am truly happy about given the difficulty of the language!
