Review by mcdonag4 iNote    Ask this person a question
Course: Undergraduate mcdonag4 iNote 's
overall rating:

3.2/4
University of origin: Dublin City University, Dublin, Ireland
Country of nationality: Ireland
Area of study: Business Studies
Program: Erasmus
Period abroad: October 2000 - June 2001
1 Housing (rent housing in Vienna, Austria) (Vienna, Austria hotel)

Type of housing:
Student accommodation centre (Studentenheim)

Arranged by:
Host university

If returning, I would choose:
Apartment/House
Why? If I went back to Vienna I would hope to be working there. Therefore I would be able to pay more for rent and get more privacy. Also I now know my way around Vienna and so wouldnt ask the host Uni to help me find accommodation.

Course recommendations:
If you are an erasmus student try to do those courses organised by "ZAS" as they tend to be a lot easier than other courses for exchange students.
