As it was recommended various times by other students, I took strategic managament, which I never regretted. Banking Game was a perfect chance for me to get insights into interconnections of different areas of activities of a bank and how they affect the results of the whole business.

The language of instruction was:
German

My proficiency in the language of instruction:
before: At ease in most situations
after: At ease in most situations

Work opportunities
I didn't want/need to work.

Personal spending habits:
Food costs approx. the same as in Austria, besides meat (which is very expensive in CH). Housing is almost at the same level, but I took a larger apartment and close to the university not to spend money for public transportation. Once bought train card at approx.EUR180 (with 1 year validity), allows you travelling in Switzerland at 50% discount and after 7 p.m. free of charge (in case one is <25 y.o.). Drinks in cafes you get at the same price as in Vienna. I bought via internet a prepaid card at the orange shop. This was cheaper than any of the offers.

I wish I had known ...
The academic reports of other students.

In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
