Budgeting in Austria
Vienna offers the largest academic network but housing costs differ from Graz, Linz, Innsbruck, Salzburg and smaller university towns. Budget in EUR for rent, compulsory insurance, transport and the student-union fee.
Budget in local currency
Build your working budget in EUR and include deposits, utilities, local transport, food, phone service and insurance.
Use current local evidence
Ask the institution for current housing guidance and compare recurring prices close to the intended start date; general cost estimates age quickly.
