It's easy to study in Innsbruck, the state capital of Tyrol. Lena, 20, thought so too. She has been studying psychology in Innsbruck since last winter semester. She quickly found a connection there, as many Germans study NC-free medicine and psychology courses here. You can hardly avoid each other in this tranquil Alpine town with around 300,000 inhabitants; people live close together here. And that's what makes it so nice, says Lena.
The LOVE MONEY
Nobody wants to live in the villages around Innsbruck, everyone wants to live in the city.
Housing is relatively expensive in the Alpine city, whether outside or in the city center. That's why you can also look for a room in a shared apartment. To support this, students can apply for a subsidy towards the rent. Food and local transport also cost more in Austria, so it's worth buying a leisure ticket. Lena can only recommend it, because the ski lift to some of the surrounding mountains is also included. This is how you quickly get to the infamous igloo parties.
CLUBS AND FESTIVALS IN INNSBRUCK
The lift quickly takes you up to the Nordkette, where the coolest parties take place in an igloo - and there is also a wonderful view of Innsbruck.

During the semester, Lena also likes to stretch her feet in the weekender. On Monday, students have free entry, and national and international bands and DJs are always waiting to warm up the partygoers after a day of skiing.
Things are chilled out at Jimmy's. Not far from the main train station, everyone meets here for a drink or to enjoy the selected live music. You can also meet snowboarders here for an after-ski drink.
While in winter students change clothes after the seminar and go to the slopes, in summer they meet up to go hiking. On July 5, 2014, Lena will definitely be making her way to the Bonanza Festival 2014. The “open-air movement”, founded in 2013, attracted young people from Innsbruck last year, and this year international DJs will play alongside local musicians.

CULTURAL FOR INTERMEDIATE BREAK
In addition to the relaxed nightlife, there are also other places where students meet to chat, grab a bite to eat or drink a hearty beer together. What they all have in common is the calmness, because people don't like stress in the Alpine city.
“From a thick mustache to a thin mustache – variety reigns in mustache” – that’s how it is announced. Events such as reading stages and pub quizzes take place regularly in the bar and café Mustache. Children are just as welcome here as students and long-time residents. The beer bar also offers delicious food and various themed rooms that invite you to relax. A perfect meeting place for coffee drinkers and people who enjoy intellectual conversations - even about beards.
Cultural impulses and multicultural togetherness – that’s what you experience in the bakery, Innsbruck’s cultural bakery. Creative people meet here to create something together, but there are also concerts, or people meet for yoga or clothing circles.
