Vienna University of Economics and Business Administration - Vienna Austria

I never would have imagined that I would spend six months of college abroad in Vienna, Austria.  Turns it out it was the best decision of my life.  Going into the semester I had seen a few pictures and talked to some students about Vienna, but really had no idea what to expect.  What I found was one of the cleanest, prettiest and under-rated cities in Europe.  Vienna has so much history and is a classic European destination.  Living there, I found so many opportunities that a three-day trip cannot possibly include.  Every day was so unpredictable!  Whether it was jogging to Schonbrunn, the summer palace of the Hapsburgs, going out with friends to International Student Night at Ride Club, traveling on weekends to countries I had never even heard of, drinking Wiener Melange (coffee) at a famous cafe or sitting in a classroom with students from all over the world, my best memories of college come from my experience in Vienna.  There aren't words to fully describe my experience, it was simply the best six months of my life and I miss it everyday.
