Johannes Kepler Universität Linz (JKU)

Be warned that the Austrian dialekt is very different to the "hoch" Deutsch that we all learn in college. It will take a while to get used to the local dialekt but Austrians will always make a genuine effort to speak clearly to you so that you will understand.

They best places to go to in Linz would be the student pub, Lui's there is something going on there every night for erasmus students especially. The student home bars were great fun as well but if you ever go to Linz you have to go to the Mensafest!!!! To get a real good beer go to Josefs in the city, you will not regret your beer choice in that bar! There are few niteclubs in Linz but if you want to go clubbing go into the city (20 min by tram from the uni). You are always bound to have a good night with a few friends. If you are Irish and feel a bit homesick why not pay a vist to the Irish pub in the city, there are two Kitty kiernans and the Old Dubliner you will meet a few Irish in there!

Best 4 months of my life. Unfortunately I didnt to much of the local Austrian people. They were a bit boring and dry. However, we made our own craic. Travel to border countries like Slovenia, Hungary and Slovakia. You won't be disappointed! Orgasmus Erasmus

The accomodation is okay itself for what we pay. It a bit big and there isn't a friendly atmosphere like at home in Scotland.
