Final comments

Linz is good for travelling as its between Salzburg and Vienna, 4hrs from Munich, 5hrs from Budapest and Prague and not totally out of the way of the skiing. Though it doesnt have the best nightlife all the international students tend to live in one halls, which is fun!

Personal comments

It was a nice accomodation for 1000 students, which provides possibility to make friendships, but also to study on my own our together with international students or to do some sport in my freetime(swimmingpool, dance room etc.)
