This is the situation for students who want a great deal of independence and are willing to put most of the effort in learning about Austrian culture, speaking German on their own. Usually two to six students per bath facility. Dorm students have the advantage in meeting students from Austria and all over the world. You may have be placed with an Austrian or another AIFS student. Students enjoy the flexibility and openness of the dorm situation.
Dorms are within reasonable access of the university facilities.
In the room or in older dorms, shared facilities are on the same floor. Not all are. However, German language is optional. A German language course plus three or four courses in English or German. The course load is decided by the student and the home schools.
