Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?

Personal comments
There is no campus on the Vienna university, therefore the student housing is situated all over vienna. That is pitty, since it is more fun to live close to other students. However, the actual housing is good, there are many places to choose between, many of wihch are located near the center of Vienna.
