I wish I had known...
I wish I knew that the Atm link with AIB Ireland was not that good, but the surprise element was the good thing about the erasmus because you had to learn how to deal with bad situation fairly quickly. That is half the experience.

Personal recommendation
In Linz you will meet alot of diffrent erasmus students from alot of different cultures, this does not necessarly happen in all universitys. The International society (Refi) there was briliant the brought us all together more than once a week and those events they organised were memorable one for me:-)

Book your flights well in advance and go to a student place to buy them if you can. Don't be scared to ask the conducters on trians for information and please do not forget your medical insurace, you will be there for a year!!! Irish students E111 and E128!! The rest you will pick up on the way. Good luck!

Housing
Type of housing: Student Home/Heim
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Student home
Why?
I would choose to live there because they are cheap and you meet alot of people your own age there as well. They are nice to live in at the start of your time there because you need to get to know some people.

The accommadation at the university was very nice. The room I lived in had eveything I need but an oven but we managed without that. Our room was cleaned once a week and our bed clothes, which they supllied was washed every second week, so it was a very clean place to live.

Thanks for the language course. Maybe they should help foreign students to find something to work in the academic envinronment in order to earn thei living.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Home university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Simply for the reason that the Management, seemed to frown on International students living there. It was very strict!! And there were regular invasions of privacy!

Housing in general is of a high standard. For an international student, I would reccommend to stay at the Raab Heim. The KHG and ESH are more relaxed settings where one can get to meet a lot of native Austrians

Personal comments
I was lucky on the one hand to be in the international halls. However, as a lot of the students didn't speak german, we ended up speaking english a lot of the time which was not very beneficial to me as I am a native speaker.
