as for the Night life:there is something to do each night of the week but if go on Erasmus in Vienna don't miss to go to Bricks on Wednesdays,especially if you like 60-70ies music and really cool atmosphere! Then if you like arts don't miss Klimt's exibition in Belvedere Castle

Academic

Course recommendations

All the courses within the English program are pretty good. 'Business Strategy' was pretty difficult and time consuming when I was there. I recommend to take seminars and pro-seminars instead of lectures. More interesting, more team work.
