STUDENT Life in vienna
My advice for prospective students would be to stay in Vienna as long as you can. Looking back, I wish I would have stayed through the end of June. It is just such a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

ABOUT VIENNA
Vienna consistently ranks among those cities with the highest quality of life in the world. Its rich history, cosmopolitan culture, eclectic cuisine, vibrant business life, and stimulating academic scene complement each other in an environment that can seem urban and rural almost simultaneously.
Vienna prides itself on innovation, among other things in smart city technology!
And, if that weren't enough--it is a great base for travel to other attractive destinations, including Berlin, Munich, Prague, Budapest, Dubrovnik, Venice, Geneva and Zurich—to mention but a few!
Vienna is home to one of four UN centers. (New York, Geneva, and Nairobi are the others.) Many UN-affiliated organizations are located at the Vienna International Center (VIC), including the International Atomic Energy Agency. Among other international organizations with their headquarters here, OPEC and the OSCE are particularly noteworthy.
