🇦🇹 Exchange in Austria, Feb 2023
🏠 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 😏).

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: +43 720 882556.
🚗 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.

🏠 Housing
Booked through a housing site — paid €650/month for a studio close to the metro. It was okay, but not very social. If I could do it again, I’d pick somewhere with more exchange students. The vibes matter more than the room, trust me.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Super easy. 3 minutes to the metro, then quick ride in. Vienna transport is elite — never had to wait more than 5 minutes.
✈️ Travel Life
Weekend warrior type beat. Hit Salzburg, Budapest, and went skiing twice with other exchange kids. If you're into the outdoors, Austria’s got you covered.
🎉 Social Life
Had to put in a bit more effort since my place wasn’t that social. But once I connected with other exchange students through Facebook groups and student events, it took off. Wednesdays and Saturdays were sacred (aka party nights).
📚 Classes
Not too heavy. As long as you show up and don’t completely disappear, you’ll survive. Teachers are chill if you keep them in the loop.

Look for housing early and prioritize community. You won’t remember the square meters, you’ll remember the people you partied and traveled with.

I stayed at The Social Hub and honestly? Best move I made. Modern rooms, chill common areas, and it’s full of internationals — you meet people on Day 1. Paid around €800/month, but it’s all-in: gym, events, fast Wi-Fi, super safe. It felt more like a student hotel than just a dorm. Easy to book online.
🚗 Getting to Campus
Super smooth. About 15 minutes to WU with metro and a short walk. Plus the area (Praterstern) is crazy well connected — trains, metros, airport line. You can get anywhere fast.
✈️ Travel Life
Took every chance I got. Did Bratislava on a random Saturday, Prague with some Social Hub friends, and a ski weekend in Innsbruck.
🎉 Social Life
The Social Hub makes it too easy — rooftop parties, game nights, random people knocking on your door for a drink. I met most of my crew just hanging out in the common kitchen. Also hit Volksgarten and Grelle Forelle a lot.
📚 Classes
WU was pretty chill once I got the hang of it. Took mostly English-taught stuff. As long as you manage your group projects and don’t ghost your profs, you’re fine.

🏠 Housing
I stayed in the OEAD Guesthouse on Molkereistrasse – €565/month for a private flat with 3 roommates. Super international vibe, lots of WU students. They cleaned the place every 2 weeks, had a gym, party room, and all the essentials already there. Only downside: it gets noisy with all the parties and the laundry situation sucks (not enough machines and you gotta pay).
🚗 Getting to Campus
Literally 10 min walk to WU. Best part honestly. Plus 2 min to Prater Park and 5 min to the U2 metro.
✈️ Travel Life
Regiojet trains = the move. Did Prague, Budapest, Bratislava. Also loved going into the Austrian countryside, like Hallstatt and Salzburg. Austria is in the middle of everything — you can get to Poland, Croatia, wherever.
🎉 Social Life
Bar nights, pub quizzes, events near city hall, clubbing at Volksgarten... there’s SO much going on. Molly Darcy’s was our go-to for chill pub nights.
📚 Classes
WU has a lot of options – and some free museum passes if you play it right. Just check what you’re signing up for.

Avoid taking the CAT train from the airport, it’s a scam. Just take the OBB – same time, €5. Also: GO to the vineyards and drink wine at Grinzing. Trust me.
