Academic
Course recommendations
This university is not well organised for the exchange students. We had a lot of problems regarding the immatriculation to the courses, becase of the limited number of places.
Suggestion: It had been better to reduce the number of exchenge students in order to give them more possibilities in the selection of classes.

I choosed Wien because it gave to me the possibility to improve both English and German..and not only from an acccademical point of view but even in social life because I meet austrian people but also american ones.
