Personal recommendation
Definitely stay two semesters if possible. The reason is that, if you're like me, the first will be very much getting used to things- if I had left after that semester I'd have missed out on the best part, and seeing the city go through seasons and weather changes- it's the best way- especially in Vienna- Viennese are conservative and rather cold the weather can get very gray and cold. You need to stay to get the jewel under that exterior.

Vienna University is nice, but unfortunately the international student community is quite quiet there.. But everybody finds friends there. take a language course at the beginning of the semester and you'll find nice people!

Best experience of studying I've ever had

Overall
While doing my masters in Russia I won the competition for the semester exchange program in Vienna from October 2018 till February 2019 which has become the major point of my decision to continue my career path abroad. The experience of living and studying in Vienna really gave me an incredicle experience, helped me to improve my English and German skills and allowed me to get to know Austrian mentality, lifestyle, culture, values and traditions. Now I want to talf in details about studying process. Before applying for courses you have an opportunity to review a full description of a course program and professors. Most professors use case-study approach in teaching process. Students are really motivated, they don't cheat on exams and prepare beforehand for exam session in libraries and study-rooms so that it is hard to find any place to study. International department works really good - they provide a lot of events for international students including dancing/sport classes, trips, games, etc.
