Personal comments
In Innbruck there is a dialect spoken which is hard to understand even for Germans. When people where talking dialekt, at least at the beginning, it was a nightmare. Only at the end of the semester could I understand and only if somebody was talking to me. When to locals were talking to eachother like always, it could have been Chinese!!!

Final comments
If you intend to travel a lot, buy a train-card, it will be cheaper at the end. Visit Salzburg, Vienna, and Munich for sure. They are all easy to access. Go skiing. Check out the Last-Minute-Flights at the L'Tur office - I visited London with minimum expenses.

Academic
Course recommendations
Mr. Stocker and Mr. Pircher were very understanding and had a good communication with them, although their classes were not very easy. Professor Hinterhuber is extremely boring to attend his classes.
