Vienna, Austria
Vienna
I’m not going to lose much time talking presenting the
city. I assume all of you know it. If you don’t, the fact that it is always on
the Top 5 best cities to live in the world should say enough about this amazing
city, where everything works fine. Especially the Metro (one every 5 min at
most during the day), so don’t worry if you live a bit far away from Uni. In
addition to this, everybody speaks English, so German is not necessary at all.
Nightlife
Nightlife
No matter what you say, this one of the most important
points when selecting a destination. And it should! The Viennese nightlife is
very good and you get a lot of different bars, clubs and other stuff to do. However
watch out for the prices and don’t forget to pre-game!
WU
WU is amazing, the new campus has one of the coolest
buildings ever! The others are quite nice too! The campus cost 500 million so
you can imagine how cool it is!
Regarding courses, I suggest without a doubt Managing and Analyzing Data for Business Decisions with Professor Nell. Despite the worrying name the course is not tough, and you actually learn, especially if you don’t work a lot in excel. In fact any course with Professor Nell is bound to be good.
In general workload is not that intense and grades are not bad, maybe I was lucky.
