Arianna Billias: I'm from Northeastern University in Boston, and I'm studying Media Communications
here at Webster. Northeastern is part of the WINS program, so that's how I discovered
Webster University Vienna in the first place.

I hadn't heard of it before. Webster was really helpful. They organized a pre-departure
meeting with me on the phone and went over absolutely everything I could have asked.
They made it a lot easier for me just by offering any advice I needed.
So the courses I'm taking at Webster are a lot like my courses at home.
[Group of students singing and clapping, standing in rows.]
[Two students smiling and wearing ethnic headgear. Three students shown wearing ethnic
costumes.]
It's a little different because you have people from absolutely everywhere in your
classes. Students from Turkey, Greece, Mexico. I'm from the states. Like every perspective
you can imagine. So I think coming abroad is amazing you get to immerse yourself in
the culture.
[Five students in ethnic costumes. A metro train runs through the city of Vienna.

And all that is so important, but academically, I definitely I need to do well in
my classes. I needed those credits to transfer back. So I think the peace of mind
of having those classes taught in English was really important for me.
When you come to Vienna campus, it's one building and has everything you need in it,
so it's really convenient, and it doesn't hurt that it's an old palace building. It's
absolutely beautiful. I like it a lot.

[Four students waving from a terrace.]
Life in the dorms is really cool here. Everyone lives in the same building so that's
pretty cool because I didn't want to be looking for an apartment. I didn't know how
I would even approach that.
[Three students in a lounge area at the Vienna campus.]
And yeah, there's a kitchen downstairs.
[Two students cooking in a kitchen.]
There's sort of a student area you can do homework, just hang out with people. They
have everything you need here.
[Three students sit together at a table working on schoolwork.]
It's pretty close to campus, so I can't complain. I would definitely recommend Webster
Vienna to anyone who asked me. It's really safe. I love that it's an American University;
the classes are great; easily transfers back, which is really important.
[People biking and walking around a park in Vienna. There are horsedrawn carriages
and a castle. People walk around a park water fountain.]
And then I think I would just sell Vienna it's just in the center of Europe. It's
in the center of everything. I'm going to Budapest, Poland, Croatia, Florence all
within the coming weeks. I would definitely tell anyone to come to Vienna. It's been
amazing so far.
