Great program for new traveller!

IES Vienna was a great program to start off my international traveling. They have a wonderful staff who helps you every step of the way, and even has a lot of fun with you! Vienna is consistently the safest city in the world, and ranked the best city to live in, and it's obvious why. The city is magnificently clean and I did not feel unsafe once during my entire stay. The other great thing about Vienna is it's location in Europe. Because it is in Central Europe, it makes for easy, short trips to so many different countries! And generally it is a lot cheaper, too! The program is for music students as well as cultural students, so you get a really great mix of people in the program, and for those of us who are less musical, you get to hear some really great music from your friends! The apartments are really great, and if there are any issues, the staff is there, willing to help. The classes are a little harder than the general study abroad type courses, but it creates a challenge that is worth it, because you get to learn so much. Overall Vienna is a city to die for, and you would be making a mistake not to choose this program!
