Hi everyone! :)
This is a short video showing my cheap small studio in Linz - Austria. Hopefully, this will give you some idea on how much you need to spend on accomodation to live here.
Renting a studio apartment can be as cheap as living in a student´s dormitory, or renting a room in a flat here in Austria.
In this video I break down the costs for renting and furnishing a studio from zero.
Please give thumbs up if you like, subscribe to my channel and leave a comment below! :)

Plumber can cutshort pipes of the toalet and and place it closer to the wall and you get 20 centimeters more space

Hi Uday, thanks for the compliment! :)... The best place to look for places in Austria is www.willhaben.at/iad , there are other good ones too like www.immowelt.at/. I personally used Willhaben for the Studio Rent and most of my furniture ;).. Good luck!

It’s not a lot, but if you’re good with your finances you can definitely save at least 300-500 euros and still live by yourself and spend some money on leisure as well

Só o que complica mesmo é a geladeira pequena sem o congelador (nada de sorvete, portanto) e o fogão de apenas duas bocas e sem forno (para quem gosta de cozinhar, deve ser uma tortura - rsrs). De resto, pelo preço, penso que foi um achado.

Part time is available for everyone if you have the proper visa, I'm not sure the students visa allows it, though.. I think it does.. Salary for part time is about 1000-1200 euros a month.. There are a lot of foreigners in Austria, especially in the big cities 😊

2 жыл бұрын
Yeah, definitely! Vienna is way bigger than the others so you don’t feel close to nature despite there are amazing parks there too.. Linz and Graz are smaller and therefore closer to nature, Innsbruck is on the foot of the Alps so the landscape is very different as well.. All these things have an effect on how people are and their accents/dialects as well. There’s no better or worse, they’re just different

Hi Partha! Most of people do speak, but unfortunately when you have to deal with bureaucracy with the authorities, general services like plumbing, or real estate agents, the story is different, most don't speak so you either have to make a big effort and deal with it in German, or ask around if some friend knows an English-speaker plumber for example. Though, it has indeed forced me to learn German :)
