Would you recommend it?
Great location, but if I had the chance I would start my research for accommodation WAY earlier than I did, Innsbruck hosts a lot of exchange students and it’s a real race to find affordable housing.
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
ESN (Erasmus organisation) organises events every single week, people are very open and social and everybody is down for a physical activity, Innsbruck is a very active city. Tag along for the group homes and ski trips.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Qualitative studies (Bachelor of business and management) can be a tiny bit boring if you’re not into that kind of research.
Do you have some tips?
The campus has such a great view of the mountains, a big lawn for sunny days, great libraries. MCI definitely prides themselves in how organized their welcoming sessions are, no one can feel lost or even left out.
Best trips to do?
A hike around Lake Achensee, beautiful scenery, crystal clear lakes, waterfalls and only an hour and a half away from Innsbruck center (by train and bus)
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Innsbruck?
Taking the Klima ticket will grant you access to so many transports in town but most definitely the funiculars to Hungerburg, Nordketten and Alpenzoo. All great altitude points towering over Innsbruck.
Be very very aware of scams while looking for your accomodation, never share your private documents with someone, or even send money, before you’ve done a proper visit or something along those lines.
