My name is Maureen and I join Nairaland Community through a friend recommendation. I recently got admitted in a Masters course at the University of Vienna, Austria. I am stuck with some requirements that I need an urgent response from people already in Austria or those with wide knowledge about how things work over there. I have gotten almost all the requirements except Evidence of accommodation and health insurance. Most of the accommodation I have seen online are way too costly to pay for and taking the fact that Vienna is a big and costly city as I was informed on researches I have made. Can I book for accommodation in another city I got admitted? Does anyone know the best way to go about the prove of Accommodation? Does anyone know the cheapest accommodation( Dormitory, shared apartments, hotels etc) i can pay for? I got travel insurance already and I don't know if i must get Health insurance before travelling or when I have arrived at Austria? Is AXe Sheghen Insurance company good company to use for my insurance or is there anyone i can use. I am not in Nigeria at present and I reside in Singapore. Please I need some clarifications from your wonderful inputs.

For the accomodation...search for international students in austria group on facebook...you should be able to see someone looking for flatmate there....Beware of scams

Hi, Maureen.
Can I inbox you? It's related to VT not Austria though.

I can't answer most of your questions as I don't live in Austria, but I'll advise to check Quora and drop questions to people's inboxes they answer pretty concisely.
While getting answers, also keep us informed on your visa processes, you may also have other info, like getting admission, paying fees etc.
This could be of help for Nigerians/Africans going to Austria.
Thank you and Good luck in all your endeavors.

Hello Maureenho. Were you able to solve your accomodation and insurance issues? I am applying to the University of Vienna this year... Do you mind if I send an email? Thanks
