not as a good a chance to speak german as I would have hoped for, because most of the interaction was with other exchange students and the main language was then english.

Personal savings

Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits
The life in Vienna is much more expensive then in Gorizia, where my home University is located. Food costs more in the supermarket and at the restaurants, the trasportation are better organized but they cost twice as much. Nightlife was maybe the same, but only because the University arranged special agreements with the clubs in order to let the exchange students have convenient prices. Only the University books were cheaper; the professors themselves spread photocopies, and the prices were much more reasonable than in Italy.

I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
housing was not very exepensive compared to Paris. We were going out a lot, so Nightlife expenses are higher. Vienna is very well located to travel around central Europe.
