slide1. Jack Killeen My exchange program to…
Vienna, Austria<br>
slide2. Vienna University of Economics
Located in the 2nd district of Vienna with a metro line on campus which allows easy access to the other district in the city (at most 30 minutes to any destination). The school provides train passes for the two weeks you are there.
You will take the train almost exclusively and it is the best metro that I have experienced.
Ideal living locations: Bassena Hotel or MileStone dorms
MileStone provides essentials, except a towel
What I wish I had known before booking MileStone: Have to check-in on a weekday during office hours
About thirty students in the program from all over the world
Campus has about 1,000 students on site allowing you to experience the full culture WU has to offer Vienna, Austria – May 2024<br>

Be prepared for temperature fluctuations (e.g., wearing/removing a sweater) Unexpected Rainy Wine Hike Final Presentation<br>
slide4. Vienna, Austria – May 2024 Daily Schedule
Intense educational program with a group presentation on the final Friday
Weekdays spent in class from 9:00am to 1:00pm, afternoon hours dedicated to group work
Presentation is similar to a consulting exercise for a real-world company
Fifteen minutes presenting, fifteen minutes Q&A
Teams are five members each<br>
slide5. Top Tips for an Unforgettable Vienna Experience
Connect with the Locals: Forge friendships and dive into the vibrant Viennese culture. I left the city with close friends from Vienna, Germany, Argentina, and Tunisia! Plenty of people to meet and learn from.
Culinary Adventure: The food is not the Wurst! Indulge in a culinary journey through Vienna's diverse dining scene, there is something there for everyone.
Cultural Immersion: Discover the city's rich history and captivating museums. Vienna has had an incredible history and the walking tour of the city was exceptionally interesting. It is easy in this city to put yourself in the shoes of someone from 80 years ago.
Savor Local Brews: Delight in tasting Vienna's finest beers and experience the local brewery culture. Valuable Tips!<br>
slide6. What was the most culturally challenging part of this experience?
The most culturally challenging part of my trip to Vienna was managing time between school and exploring the city. Balancing a demanding educational schedule with the desire to experience Vienna's rich culture, vibrant dining scene, and historic sites was quite a task.
2. What was the most rewarding part of this experience?
The most rewarding part of my trip to Vienna was making friends with the locals and other students from different schools, and exploring the city together. It enriched my experience and made the cultural immersion much more enjoyable and memorable. Challenges | Rewards This exchange program (DBI) was not only an educational experience but also an opportunity to dive into European history and culture. I made unforgettable friends from all over the world, creating memories that will last a lifetime.<br>
slide7. Grab dinner right next to campus at the Luftburg - Kolarik im Prater beer garden with your presentation group
On Fridays, a DJ holds a free concert at Heldenplatz near the Hofburg Palace, this is can’t miss! We saw the president of Austria give an impromptu speech on stage.
Head to Volksgarten afterwards to continue the festivities.
Do a wine hike, a tradition for Viennese university students just outside of town. Must-Do’s!<br>
