Universität Wien (UNIVIE)

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.

If you live in Vienna you will be close to surprising cities in East Europe, like Prague (magic place not to be missed), Bratislava, Budapest (one of the most beautiful cities I´ve ever been). Vienna´s town council organises lots of cultural events, concerts, street markets...

Erasmus grant is too little, you can´t live only with it. My residence was a surprise for me, because it was quite good and costs only 250 € per month. Maybe the best cost-saving tip is not going clubbing too often.

Universität Wien has got a housing service for students which works really well. They have rooms in a lot of residences near the university, most of them are quite modern and comfortable.

There are many clubs along the Ring (Vienna´s center is surrounded by a big ring), like Chelsea (with great life concerts) or B72. But the place to go is Flex, near the Danube canal, with funny partys and other events. Vienna is the city of cafes as well. In Hawelka Cafe (Dorotheergasse) you can enjoy the traditional atmosphere of an austrian cafe. I also enjoyed Hummel cafe (Josefstädterstrasse) and Kandinsky cafe (Lerchenfelder Straße, near Pfeilheim, my residence).
