Vienna University of Technology - TU Wien
speciality: Mechanical

TU Vienna is a great university, really good located in the center of Vienna. The main problems are that they have very little offer to practice what was learned during lectures and apply knowledge. It seems that they spend their money on increasing the public impression rather than on their students. What they forget here, is that the students are the future not only of the university but as well of a country. They are also a few extremely hard exams that only slow students down and that are unnecessary unfair. The dean and even the rector is aware of that and still, the professors can do whatever they want to do. I am wondering why professors have such extreme power? Besides the university is also lacking social activities. And voluntarily student organizations that offer services to students for free are not supported but in fact partly boycotted by the university internal Career Center. Also exchange opportunities in particular outside of Europe are very bad. The university has potential, sadly it is not using it.
