Student Reviews
WU Vienna
🇦🇹 Exchange in Vienna
🏠 Housing
I stayed in an OEAD student flat (Gasgasse), around €700/month. It was a solid deal – I had 3 flatmates and shared the kitchen, but still had my own space. Made it easy to make friends while still having a "real home" feel. If I did it again, I’d aim for Molkerstrasse – closer to campus.
🚗 Getting to Campus
It was a bit far from WU, but still doable with metro. Took some time but nothing too crazy.
✈️ Travel Life
Weekend trips were 🔥. Bratislava is just 1h away, Budapest was super fun. Everything’s close when you’re in Vienna – it’s built for travelers.
🎉 Social Life
Honestly, having shared housing helped a lot. Met people through my flat, uni, and just going out. There’s always something happening.
📚 Classes
There’s a huge mix – just check the course guide before you pick. Some are super chill, others more intense. Do your homework (on the courses, not in class 😏).
🇦🇹 Exchange in Vienna
🏠 Housing
I stayed at The Social Hub Vienna, 100% recommend. Super modern, fun crowd, safe, and well-connected. Around €800/month. You get what you pay for, amazing community, events, and great support. Call the front desk for info.
🚗 Getting to Campus
15 min to WU with metro + walk. Super easy. The area (Praterstern) has 3 metro lines and even connects straight to the airport.
✈️ Travel Life
Vienna’s a travel hub. Did Bratislava, Budapest, Prague – all within hours. Book early and it's cheap. Night trains are a vibe.
🎉 Social Life
The Social Hub was a game-changer. Parties, common areas, always people around. No way to feel alone.
📚 Classes
Can’t lie – didn’t stress much. WU has structure but it’s manageable. As long as you don’t pick accounting or hardcore stuff, you’ll be chill.
