Personal comments
In Croatia you can survive speaking English. Whenever somebody doesn't speak English, everybody is willing to interpret. Unfortunately the English skills of most Croatians are not good enough for a more detailed conversations in a bar or cafe. Most Croatian do not have enough patience to talk with foreigners speaking some Croatian.

Food and communication is more expensive than in Austria. As there are no kitchens in the students dorms, you always have to go to the cafeteria. going out is much cheaper than in Austria. So you can do it more frequently and still save money.

“Studying in one of the most beautifull contries in the world, but not so educationaly advanced”
Lucija K
Croatia, Undergraduate
Management Science, 2022
Overall
Croatia has a lot to offer, unfortunately not so much academic-wise. In my second year of studies, I attended one semester at ISCOM school in Paris via the Erasmus+ program which was a turning point at my education. I have learned how more seriously other cultures take their education and received a completely different view on education in general. That is the reason I am searching for an abroad internship and then later an abroad master's program.
