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

Personal spending habits:
food, drinks and nightlife are definitly cheaper then back home, even though I went out more then I would have done back home. I live in a student dorm back home as well, but pay a bit more then a did in Vienna. The travel cost was higher mainly because I traveled all around eastern-europe, which I wouldn't have done a home. But the cost per trip was of course less then home.

I wish I had known ...
no! no big suprises going to Vienna

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