Vienna is a city that offers unending cultural opportunities. A semester isn't nearly enough time to do everything, but it's more than enough time to gain a sincere appreciation for the culture. I knew the opportunity to spend four months in such a beautiful, historic city was a special one. I can't imagine a better place to study abroad.
