Personal comments
as for the Night life:there is something to do each night of the week but if go on Erasmus in Vienna don't miss to go to Bricks on Wednesdays,especially if you like 60-70ies music and really cool atmosphere!
Then if you like arts don't miss Klimt's exibition in Belvedere Castle

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
Just because I already had the experience to live privatly and even if it has positive sides,I guess leaving on a campus would be more fun!

Personal comments
The housing organizations work quiet good..they're well organized and cheap.The only problem is that you have to ask for a room too much time before you want it and that's why I didn't manage to have one when I came in Vienna.

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!
