I wasnt quite sure what to expect of the experience ahead of me but I was prepared to accept the challenge (挑战).The university was quite small but the classes were large. Also, Austrian students usually take five years to complete their courses, so st
27、udying was somewhat more relaxed than at home. Austrian students go home quite often, too.

28、e of Mozart and the setting for The Sound of Music. As a result, it is usually very busy with tourists.
