I. Program Profile
The New England Universities in Salzburg Program affords the student the opportunity to
participate in the intellectual life of a great university situated in a major European cultural center.
This program has been around for over 30 years and unlike some others of its kind it is unique in
fostering independence. What this essentially means is that much of your experience will depend
on your own effort. The program will assist you in selecting and registering for courses, will help
you in your search for housing, and it will provide a sort of American home base by organizing
group trips and functions while abroad. Naturally, the program will be there should you have any
problems or questions, however, your success in the program will depend on you. It is you who will
face the day-to-day challenges of the European lifestyle which will be new to you. Students who
thrive here are independent, mature enough to take care of themselves and eager for adventure.
Remember that one of the reasons students choose to study abroad is to immerse him/herself in
the language. Although it is easier to rely on speaking English all the time, you would be cheating
yourself out of this wonderful experience. Keep this in mind throughout your stay in Salzburg and
make the most of your incredible opportunity.
II. The Servus Brief
This student handbook is an accumulation of valuable student knowledge intended to make your
life a little easier. Keep in mind that every experience is different and this guide is only to help get
you started. In it you will find information on everything from what to pack to help in choosing
classes. Take this handbook with you to Salzburg as it was also intended as a handy reference
guide once you are settled in Europe.
Information not found in this handbook can be found at the following websites:
1. www.sbg.ac.at (The Universität Salzburg Homepage)
2. www.umaine.edu/MLandC/salzburg.html (The New England Universities Homepage)
III. Questions to Ask Yourself...
Am I expecting to live well on very little money? You should already know what it is like to manage
your money. Living in Europe is no different, but realize that Salzburg is generally an expensive
place to live and by keeping a carefully planned budget you can avoid getting caught short on
money by the end of the year. Remember that money, like your time there, is not unlimited. How
much you have available will also depend on the current dollar-euro exchange rate. To find out
what the current exchange rate is, visit: http://www.xe.com/ucc. Some groceries such as potatoes
and carrots are much cheaper than at home while other things like meats and drinks are more
expensive.
Am I expecting to find things the same as at home? If you answer “yes,” then an exchange
program is not the option for you. Salzburg is a place where you can gain many new experiences
and expand the person you are now. Austria is not the USA. They have a different culture,
language and lifestyle—the more you can assimilate yourself into their world, the more enjoyable
your experiences there will be. You will experience culture shock upon your arrival, and
surprisingly, you will also experience it coming home! It’s important to remember that this is not a
permanent situation and dealing with one thing at a time is beneficial to you. Your Resident
Director (RD) is there to help you as are your new friends and your family. It’s best to rely on your
3
new friends, because although your family might know you the best, your friends are in the same
situation you are and can offer more immediate support.
IV. The City of Salzburg
The rich heritage of medieval Salzburg is still alive in this modern city. Behind the magnificent
church facades, yearlong pageantry and Austrian charm, is a deep and abiding faith and a
willingness to share. Salzburg was for many centuries an independent city-state ruled by
Archbishops. Its patron saint, St. Rupert, also one of the city’s rulers, is credited for beginning the
salt industry in Salzburg.
Salzburg is a tourist town in every sense of the word. As the birthplace of Mozart, the home of “The
Sound of Music”, the beautiful alpine setting, Salzburg attracts hordes of tourists to her streets
during the spring and summer. Salzburg is also a rich cultural center, boasting theatres, museums
and concert halls.
V. Before you go
Paperwork
Within your acceptance packet, you should have received a couple of important forms. You should
make yourself very familiar with this material before you leave the U.S., and you will need to take
these with you to Salzburg. The following is a list of important documents you should have:
 Away registration form (from your institution’s International Studies office)
 Austrian residence Visa forms (download from the program website) Requirements may
change periodically and we will try to keep up with the newest developments. Visa
requirements for students going to Salzburg for a full academic year are different than for
those staying less than 6 months. Those students need a Schengen Visa. More info at
Residence Visa in this Servus Brief
 Passport (if you don’t have one, you should apply immediately)
 Copy of your Transcript
 Original Birth Certificate and certified translation of birth certificate
 Certificate of Good Conduct from your local police department and certified translation of it.
 Immunization Records. There may be a change in policy and not all immunizations are
needed (download form from program website and make sure that your physician signs it)
 An international student I.D. card valid for the year you are in Salzburg can be useful when
you are abroad, however you will be issued a student I.D. card from the University of
Salzburg.
 If you plan on doing any traveling while you are abroad, a Hostelling International (HI) card
will be well worth the money. You can purchase a membership online at
www.hiusa.org/membership/join.cfm (about $28 for an annual membership).
 Notarized copy of High School Diploma
A word about Financial Aid and billing procedures:
Non UMaine Students:
The full tuition for this program is due in the Orono Program Office no later than July 1. If you
receive financial aid, your payment may be delayed without penalty. In this case, however, we
must require a down payment of $500 by July 1 (or December 1 for the spring students) to
cover matriculation fees at the Universität Salzburg.
4
UMaine Students:
Since the Salzburg Program tuition fee for students enrolled at the University of Maine in Orono is
charged directly against the student's regular university bill, no down payment is required. The
tuition will be applied to the student's regular bill on July 1.
Please note that with the exception of special circumstances, of which you need to inform the
Program Director and the Program Office in writing prior to July 1, late payments will be assessed
a fee of 10%.
Refund Policy
Students withdrawing from the program may apply in writing, certified mail, for refunds according to
the following schedule:
Before September 1
$3500*
September-January 15
$2300*
After January 15
$0
*based on consortium member rate, and full year. For half-year participants check back with
program director for dates and amounts.
If students decide to return earlier from Salzburg than indicated on her/his application, s/he must
inform both the Resident Director (RD) in Salzburg and the Program Director in Maine in writing by
the dates indicated above. If they fail to do so, the Program will be unable to refund any money.
Airline tickets
You will need to arrange for your own transportation to and from Salzburg. Students in the past
have found cheap tickets through the following vendors:
Council Travel
STA Travel
Student Universe
www.counciltravel.com
www.sta-travel.com
www.studentuniverse.com
1-800-226-8624
1-800-777-0112
You will need to have an international student ID to purchase some of these tickets; you can
purchase one through Council Travel, or occasionally through the Study Abroad Office at your
home university.1
You can always check with the airlines directly, although they may not offer student discounts and
the fares may be more expensive.
Most airlines allow two checked bags and one carry-on. Make sure to check with the airlines on the
weight limits they place on luggage as an overweight bag can be VERY expensive ($100+). See
the section on packing your bags in this chapter to help you decide what is important to bring; you
don’t need to bring as much as you think!
When purchasing your tickets, plan to fly into Frankfurt, Munich or Salzburg2. See chapter VI on
“Arriving in Salzburg” for information on how to get from the different airports to Salzburg.
When you purchase your ISIC, make sure that it is for the upcoming year, not the past year.
Flying into Salzburg may be more expensive. You may save money by flying into a different city and
taking the train into Salzburg. Make sure your travel agent tries different options.

Packing
First of all, keep in mind that you will be accumulating items throughout the year, and second of all,
Europeans do not dress like Americans and you might find that you don’t want to be dressing like
an American either. (There is an inherent safety issue associated with this as well.) European
dress (on average) is dressier than most Americans are used to. The key word for packing will
be… EFFICIENT.
Clothing
Bring a variety of clothing with you, but only what you will REALLY wear, and keep in mind that just
because you wear it once, it does not make it dirty. Your classmates will be more likely to notice if
you change your clothes every day than if you wear the same outfit two days in a row. Laundry is
also expensive, so it will help you save money.
Salzburg experiences warm summers as well as cool winters, so bring warm clothes with you
along with your summer clothes.
Weather in Salzburg is often rainy so make sure you bring a rain jacket with you. Also, former
students have found that a collapsible umbrella will be very convenient while you are abroad. They
are expensive in Salzburg, so bring one with you.
Room Furnishings
Bring a few pictures with you to set in your room. It will be nice to have a little bit of home around
you.
Quilts, pillows, sheets, towels, dishes, candles, coat hangers, posters- these are all things you can
buy relatively cheaply in Salzburg, and many times, you can purchase these items from former
students. The director also has various belongings abandoned throughout the years which are
available for student use. And please remember… Austria is a foreign country, but not a different
planet; you can easily find all of the things that you will need.
Bring any dictionaries you need. You do not need to bring every book you own. Pick your favorite
book and bring it along. There are many libraries in Salzburg.
If you have a laptop, it can be VERY useful to have, make sure you bring all the paperwork that
goes with it; you might be required to show proof of purchase at Customs.
Purchase a voltage converter before you go if your machine needs one. You will need a
“Zwischenstecker,” an adapter for the wall plug as Austria has a different plug shape.
Misc.
Bring a year’s supply of any medications you will need, if your doctor knows you are leaving on a
study abroad program, he/she will usually write you out a special prescription.
Bring a year’s supply of contacts with you if you wear them.
Anti-perspirant. Austrians use deodorant, but it is very hard to find anti-perspirant.
Camera and film. You can buy film there, but it will be more expensive. Invest in a digital camera, if
you don’t already have one, but be sure to bring plenty of batteries or rechargeable batteries and a
converter because batteries can be very expensive in Salzburg.
Bring a small alarm clock that runs on batteries.
6
A Discman or MP3 player is a good item to have on the plane with you, and tiny speakers for your
room might not be a bad idea.
Sports
Bikes are the preferred mode of transportation around Salzburg. You can buy a bike there, both
used (reasonable) or new (expensive), or you can bring your own bike. There are many
advantages to buying a bike when you get there. It is only recommended to bring your own bike if
you intend to do a lot of mountain biking and you have a specialty bike.
If you intend to do a sport while you are there (skiing, snowboarding, rock climbing, soccer, etc.)
make sure you bring what you need, but keep in mind that extra baggage will cost you money and
it WILL be expensive. If you only intend to ski once, for example, think about renting equipment. If
you plan on playing soccer for a team, or go rock climbing on a regular basis, it is worth it to have
your own equipment. Do not bring anything you will not use! Your equipment takes up space and
unless you are serious about it, you will be finding other things to do.
Money
Open a bank account in Salzburg; this is by far the most efficient and cheapest way to access your
money. The Program has a good relationship with the Hypobank in Salzburg and we recommend
that you open a student account with them. The Resident Director will help you do this upon your
arrival. After you have opened an account in Salzburg, have your bank wire your money to that
account in US Dollars. The bank in Salzburg will figure out what the exchange rate is. Most banks
allow this option. We recommend that you do NOT carry much cash, but instead if you feel you
need to bring a larger amount of money, transport the money in the form of Travelers Cheques in
EURO currency. Visa and American Express are both options. Keep the serial numbers separate
from the checks and leave a photocopy of the serial numbers with a friend or relative at home.
Make sure you sign your checks when you get them! Once you arrive in Salzburg, you may cash
them at the American Express office on Mozartplatz free of charge. You can then take the cash
and deposit it in your student account in Salzburg. Past students have greatly recommended the
use of debit cards during your exchange experience. As of July 15, 2004, Hypobank does not
apply charges for withdrawals using a debit card. Plus you would have the added security that you
wouldn't have with cash. But be aware that paying by debit or credit card is not as common as in
the States and you need cash far more often than you are used to.
If you are receiving financial aid, your aid will be sent to your parents. (Contact financial aid for any
questions you have.) Your parents must have a power of attorney, (the financial aid office at your
current university can assist you in information on gaining a power of attorney), to sign your name
and cash your check. The easiest and cheapest way for them to send you money is to get
American Express Gift Cheques. This allows your parents to send you money without requiring a
signature from them upon cashing, allowing you to cash the money and put it directly into your
account. Make sure you sign your checks upon receipt.
You will want approximately $5,000 to get yourself started in Salzburg. It is important that you
watch the exchange rates, as well, because that will either make your money worth more or less
(to find out what the current exchange rate is, visit: http://www.xe.com/ucc). You may need to buy
dishes, sheets, towels etc. See the section XI on Shopping in Salzburg for more information.
Expenses for the year will vary depending on where you decide to live and if you intend to cook on
your own, etc. A safe estimate is $10,000 for the whole year to live comfortably with rent, food,
health insurance, travel, etc.; however, planning a budget when you arrive in Salzburg is highly
recommended.
7
Housing
You must arrange housing beforehand. If you wait until the last minute, there is no guarantee that
you will find accommodation. Like their Austrian counterparts, program participants are housed in
dormitories or rent private rooms in or near Salzburg. Austrian standards of cleanliness are high.
There is a good selection of comfortable rooms listed online with the Austrian Student Union, with
the Resident Director and the Salzburg University website.
In order to get a feel for where dorms are in relation to the Germanistik, the German department at
the Universität Salzburg, use Google Maps. By clicking on “Get Directions,” you can type in a
dorm’s address and the address of the Germanistik (Akademiestr. 24). (You can also use Google
Maps when plotting out supermarkets and other places of interest.)
As soon as you have received notification of acceptance, you should arrange for a room. There is
an organization our students have found very helpful: ÖAD-Wohnraumverwaltung. To work with
them you need a 550 EURO deposit (as of winter 2009). Application is done online and the
dormitories can be viewed on the website. The site is: http://www.housing.oead.ac.at/ All the
same dorms can also be accessed at www.studentenheim.at . The point of contact is Frau
Maggy Schmidt in the ÖAD office, phone 0662 8044 4901. From the States the phone number is:
011 43 662 8044 4901. Maggy Schmidt speaks both English and German.
Rooms are at a premium and early application is strongly suggested. Also, you may contact your
dorm director to see if you can move into your dorm before semester begin (October 1 or March 1).
The cost may or may not be more than you’d pay at a youth hostel, but staying at your dorm will
alleviate stress on move-in day.
Students who have gone in the past definitely recommend living in a Studentenheim. These are
like college dorms/apartments. They are not affiliated with the University, but house only University
students. Most rooms are for double-occupancy and most include their own bathrooms with a
shower, sink and toilet. There are usually floor kitchens with cooking facilities and refrigerators for
the students’ use. The following is a list of Studentenheim that have been recommended by
previous program participants:

VI. Arriving in Salzburg
Getting to Salzburg
Once you are in Europe, you need to find your way into the city of Salzburg. Before you do
anything, exchange some money if you have not done so already! If you are arriving in Munich or
Frankfurt you will need to get yourself to the train station to take a train to Salzburg. No matter
where you land, you can consult www.oebb.at, the website for Austrian National Rail (ÖBB), since
all of Europe’s rail service is loaded into its system. You will most likely be able to take a train right
from the airport to the Hauptbahnhof (the Main Railroad Station). Use the oebb website to make
educated guesses as to which train you may take to Salzburg. Remember to enter into the
equation the length of time it’ll take you to clear customs and collect baggage. In most cases, you
can use as your beginning point the airport where you’re landing.
Once you get to the Hauptbahnhof, you will need to check the timetable for your train to see if your
train is running on time; these are always posted on large boards. Look for the Abfahrt (departure)
and Gleis or Bahnsteig (track or platform your train is departing from). If you have any trouble
finding your way around, look for the information center (Auskunft or Information) sometimes
marked with a question mark or an “i”. Don’t be afraid to use English—the employees will most
likely be able to help you. Don’t forget that in Europe the standard is the 24-hour clock (i.e. 15:00 =
3:00pm).
In Munich, you can take the S-Bahn directly to the Ost-Bahnhof and from there catch a train to
Salzburg.
If you have not arranged for early check-in at your dormitory, it will be necessary to find a hostel
where you can stay for a few days. Former students recommend that you make arrangements at
the hostel ahead of time. Get your HI Card to get cheaper rates at European youth hostels
(http://www.hihostels.com/web/membership.en.htm) There are two relatively inexpensive hostels in
Salzburg:
Jugendgästehaus Salzburg (Josef-Preis-Allee 18, 5020 Salzburg)
 €17-22 per night
Contact information:
Tel.: 0043-662-8426700
Fax: 0043-662-841101
Email: salzburg@jfgh.at
www.jfgh.at/salzburg.php
10
Yoho International Youth Hostel (Paracelsusstr. 9, 5020 Salzburg)

€17-22 per night
Contact information:
Tel. 0043.662.879649
Fax: 0043.662.878810
Email: office@yoho.at
www.yoho.at/engl.html
Once you arrive in Salzburg, you’ll need to get to your residence. You may either take a bus or one
of the taxis that wait out in front of the train station or airport. A taxi is recommended: they’re
relatively inexpensive and much easier with all your luggage.
Once you are checked into your room, you will want to notify the Resident Director (Leitmeritz Str.
9/3 or by phone at 62.01.61) that you have arrived. The Resident Director will likely set up a time
for everyone to meet and go over paperwork together. Until then, get out and enjoy your new city!
VII. First Things First…
Money
The Resident Director will take the students as a group to the Hypobank to open bank accounts.
The Program has a good relationship with this bank, and they are familiar with our program. You
will need to have a passport and money to deposit into the account. If you have not cashed your
travelers checks at the American Express office on Mozartplatz, you may also cash them here, but
be advised that the bank will charge a fee to do this. A BankCard provides flexibility—you may use
this at an ATM (Bankomat) and it functions as a debit card. It is preferable to have your monthly
rent automatically deducted from your account—and many places require this; simply arrange this
with your housing authorities and the bank. You should also carry a credit card with you in case of
emergency. Visa or MasterCard is your best choice; they are widely accepted and you should have
no problems with either of these cards. A Capital One “No Hassle” (Visa) card currently charges
NO exchange or foreign purchase fees.
Matriculation
You will need to be matriculated at the University before you can open up an e-mail account,
obtain your residence visa or attend classes (and get credit for those classes). Your Resident
Director will help you do this at the University. You should send to the Resident Director befor April
for the academic year or December for spring semester or have the University of Maine send the
following: Universität Salzburg application, college transcript, notarized copy of your high school
diploma, and photocopy of your passport photo page.
Insurance
You will need to have proof of insurance with you. If you have insurance through your home
University, remember to bring your insurance cards, but you will take out a student insurance policy
with the Salzburger Gebietskrankenkasse (part of a national health insurance) as well. Students
accepted as ordentliche Hörer or “regular students” are eligible for the Austrian student health
policy which covers most medical, dental treatment and medication costs for approximately $35 per
month. This student insurance is mandatory for University acceptance. The application for
insurance will be filed in Salzburg, and your Resident Director will help you with this. PLEASE
NOTE: it is advisable for students to carry a comprehensive U.S.or Canadian health insurance for
11
any medical needs that may arise through the first week of the academic period (which begins
October 1 or March 1).
Residence Visa
Americans staying longer than 3 months in the European Union are required to have a visa.
Website for students staying in Salzburg for one semester: http://www.austria.org/visa-forstudents/. This visa is a Schengen Visa and needs to be applied for at the Austrian Consulate in
the USA. The Austrian Consulate responsible for the Northeastern US is located in New York City.
General Consulat of Austria
31 East 69th Street
New York, NY 10021
Phone in the States: 1 212 737 6400
For students staying the academic year: http://www.austria.org/residence/
You will need to have the following documents (as of March 2009) when turning in the visa
application at the visa office at Schwarzstraße 44:
- application (the Resident Director has a three-page form for you)
- passport and copies of the 1) photo page and 2) the page with your entry stamp
- recent passport picture
- birth certificate (ORIGINAL and certified translated copy)
- lease/rental agreement for dorm room or private housing
- proof of Austrian health insurance
- proof of financial means (under 24: €413 per month/24 and older: €747)
- confirmation of enrollment at the Universität Salzburg (the Resident Director will have this for you)
- police certificate of good conduct dated within three months prior of your visa application
- in some cases, the following will be required especially where name changes are involved:
marriage certificate, divorce certificate)
- Cost of Visa: €110
Polizeiliche Anmeldung – Registration with local authorities in Salzburg
Within 3 days of moving into your dorm or private home you have to register with the local
authorities. For registration you have to fill out the so-called Meldezettel which will ask you for your
current address in Salzburg (dorm AND room number) and your personal information. You can
download the Meldezettel at www.help.gv.at/ under the heading Formulare/Online-Amtswege or
obtain one from the Bürgerservice located in Schloss Mirabell. The Meldezettel has to be signed by
your landlord/landlady or the coordinator of the dorm. You should turn it in with a copy of your
passport at the Bürgerservice. The Resident Director may also do this with you as a group.
VIII. Eating in Salzburg
Salzburg has some fine restaurants and great Würstl stands, but on a student’s budget, even
McDonald’s becomes expensive. Try to shop at local grocery stores and cook for yourself as much
as possible. Most Austrian students will be doing the same. There are a number of university
cafeterias in Salzburg called Mensa that offer hot meals at cheaper prices than you can expect to
pay at a local restaurant.
Grocery Stores
When you go to the grocery store, be sure to bring an assortment of coins. The shopping carts
require a deposit, but you get the coin back when you return the cart. Also, bring your own bags,
as a store charges you per bag. The following are commonly-found grocery stores and
12
supermarkets in the city. Most websites have a Filialsuche or a store locator. Again, use Google
Maps to plot out supermarkets in relation to the housing possibilities and the Germanistik.
Hofer (www.hofer.at): Cheapest all-around prices but the least variety. Owned by Aldi
Billa: (http://www.billa.at) Look for a yellow and red grocery bag motif. You can also buy
sandwiches at the deli here.
Spar or Eurospar (http://www.spar.at/): Very comparable to Billa with slightly higher quality food.
Look for the evergreen motif.
Merkur (http://www.merkurmarkt.at/): Large, very comparable to a large supermarket. They have
perhaps the best slogan: “Es ist verdammt hart, der Beste zu sein.”
Outdoor Markets: Located on Universitätplatz Mondays through Saturdays and on Mirabellplatz
on Thursday mornings. Market food is fresh and of good quality, but more expensive than in the
stores.
Restaurants
Here is a partial listing of restaurants recommended by previous NEU students; this is just to get
you started as you will discover your own favorite spots during the year. If you don’t go for the most
expensive item on a menu, you can still escape with a good meal and a drink for €10.
Stiegl Biergarten: Austrian cuisine, in the Altstadt, on the footpath up to the Festung.
Weißes Kreuz: Yugoslavian food, located on Bierjodlgasse.
Augustinerbräu: Located on Augustinergasse—great food and beer in a traditional beer hall.
Wilder Mann: Located off Getreidegasse, this restaurant serves traditional Austrian food and is
reasonably priced.
Spaghetti & Co.: A reasonably-priced Italian restaurant located on Getreidegasse.
Il Sole: Great authentic Italian food at good prices in a central location (Gstättengasse)
“Schnell Imbiss” stands: Home of the kebab, Käsekrainer, and Bosna—open late and located
throughout the city in squares and street corners. A typical Wurst with Semmel (roll) will cost
around €3.
Mensa – Student cafeteria
There are several Mensas located in the city. A large Mensa is in the NaWi (Naturwissenschaft)
building, and there is a smaller Mensa in the Anglistik building. Since most of your classes will
likely be in the Germanistik building, the Anglistik is the closest place to grab a bite to eat between
classes. If you plan on eating in the Mensa often, be sure to pick up a stamp from the ÖH which
will lower the price of your meals.
IX. Orientation
Once you arrive in Salzburg, you will have an orientation session that generally spans the week
leading up to the beginning of the semester (either October 1 or March 1). Your Resident Director
will make you aware of the first day—please plan to arrive in Salzburg NO LATER than the day
before the first day of orientation. The first part of the week is devoted to becoming acquainted with
one another, filling out paperwork, and seeing some interesting sites in and around Salzburg. The
second part of the week customarily includes a three-day trip to a destination in Austria or
Germany (recent trips have included Vienna, Innsbruck, Nürnberg, and Regensburg—your
Resident Director will send you details). The trip gives students the opportunity to really get to
know the other participants in the NEU in Salzburg Program and to see a different, most always
German-speaking region. The trip is included in the price of your tuition, although you will be
responsible for your food.
13
X. Going to School
Eventually, you will have to go to school! The Resident Director can help you choose classes and
explain the general enrollment process. It is very different from the enrollment process you are
used to.
Before you leave the States you should meet with your advisor and decide which
possible classes you will be able to take while in Salzburg. It is important to know what you need in
order to graduate or continue smoothly with your classes when you return in the fall.
You may preview classes at the Uni Salzburg Website https://online.uni-salzburg.at/. Under
“Suche,” go to “Studien”—then type in “Germanistik.” Once you enter the course listing, you can
press a button for English in the upper righthand corner.
Course registration
As of 2007-2008 everyone is required to use the PLUS online system. When you register at the
university of Salzburg, you get access to the system, for which you’ll need to create a password.
Your Resident Director will help you with this process.
Classes
You will notice a starting date for the each semester (October 1 and March 1). Although the
University officially opens on this date, classes do not usually begin until one week later. You
should, however, attend an information session about Deutsch als Fremdsprache so that you can
learn about the placement exam you’ll need to take. You are encouraged to pre-register online for
classes, although you may find that you’re put on a waiting list. This is because Austrian and
German students tend to flood the sign-up lists with little intention of taking all the courses they
sign up for. More important, you should choose the classes you might take and simply attend all of
them during the first week the classes are in session.
Should you choose to remain in the class, make sure you put yourself on the class roster that will
be passed around or speak directly with your professor. Also, you must enter yourself in the PLUS
online system as being a member of a class. This lets the professor know that you intend to
complete the course and obtain a grade report (called a Zeugnis or Schein). This document, which
is signed by the professor and stamped by the department secretary, that needs to be turned into
the NEU Program Office in order for you to receive credit at your home institution. Should you
decide that after the first session of classes that you do not want to attend a class, simply stop
going. You may add or drop courses until the end of the Inskriptionsfrist.
There are different types of courses offered at the University. Vorlesungen are lecture type
classes, usually large. There are required or recommended readings and perhaps a short test at
the end, sometimes a quick oral exam. Proseminare are smaller, discussion-oriented courses and
are considered to be the Austrian equivalent to an upper-level course; these classes usually have
required readings, a written paper of medium length and a presentation or a Referat made to the
class. Seminare are advanced classes, more like a U.S. graduate-level course, requiring extensive
reading and a longer paper as well as a Referat.
If you feel confident in your German abilities, we encourage you to try a Proseminar or a Seminar,
but if your German has not quite reached the Zertifikat Deutsch level, it might be best to stay with
Vorlesungen until the second semester. Some students find that Proseminare are easier because
there is more concentration on just one subject. Talk to your Resident Director and your professor
and decide what is best for you. Most professors are very open to our students trying to stretch
themselves and welcome a non-Austrian perspective in their classes.
14
The Resident Director offers two courses in the fall semester (one of which is always a culture
course on Austria and Salzburg) and one course in the spring; these courses are not mandatory
but deserve consideration. The Resident Director will make you aware of the subject and content
of the course when you arrive in Salzburg. Most students will be enrolled in a Deutsch als
Fremdsprache (German as a foreign language, also called “DaF”) course, offered at many levels at
the University. In order to receive credit for DaF at the University of Maine, you must test into
Mittelstufe 1 or higher (you may take Grundstufe I or II, but you will not earn upper-level credit for
these courses).
Credits:
German majors should take at least one Proseminar in culture or literature during the year. We
suggest you do this in the 2nd semester.
One semester of advanced language study, provided by the Deutsch als Fremdsprache
department, is required of all participants who have not had a third-year German language course.
Only the Mittlestufe or Oberstufe levels are considered advanced language courses. No more
than twelve credits a year will be granted for Deutsch als Fremdsprache courses. The
corresponding 1 credit language lab course is not transferable.
The translation courses, both German-English and English-German are also very good and are
especially suggested for German majors, but are appropriate for all students.
Not more than 3 credits per semester will be allowed for courses taught in English, unless
permission is granted by the home institution.
When your course schedule is finalized, the home institution and the NEU Program Office should
be notified so that course duplication can be avoided and transfer acceptance can be assured.
CREDIT CANNOT BE EARNED TWICE FOR THE SAME COURSE CONTENT.
A typical NEU fall schedule may look like the following:
Deutsch als Fremdsprache (Mittelstufe or Oberstufe)
Language Lab (not transferable, but important!)
Austria and Salzburg in history and culture (RD course)
Second RD course
Vorlesung or Proseminar of interest
6 credits
“0” credits
3 credits
3 credits
2 (or 3) credits
Total
12 to 15 credits
Academic Records and Transcripts:
Once you submit your Zeugnisse (grade reports) to the Resident Director, the course titles are
translated and the Resident Director will issue a statement attesting to the accuracy of the
translation of the course titles. Courses taught by the Resident Director are handled in exactly the
same way. The certificates are then sent to the program advisor at the student's home institution.
In Salzburg, number grades are given instead of letter grades, and these grades translate in the
following way:
1
2
3
4
5
sehr gut
gut
befriedigend
genügend
nicht genügend
=A
= B+
= C+
=C
= no credit given
15
The student's home institution decides how many credit hours transfer per course, and if grades
will be included on the transcript. If a course taken in Salzburg is to be applied toward a major or
core curriculum requirements at the home institution, students may be required to present syllabi
and notes to the respective department. New England Universities in Salzburg Program
requires the student to retain course descriptions and pass them in with the Zeugnis. More
details are available from your home institution.
In most cases one credit equals one hour per week of instruction. This applies to courses offered
by the Resident Director and to the Vorlesungen. More intense Proseminare and Seminare in
subjects outside of languages may be worth one extra credit because of the added degree of
difficulty or extra work associated with the class. Again, proof of work completed and a course
description must be sent to the NEU Program Office. More details are available from your home
institution.
Summary Records are kept at University of Maine for all students in the Salzburg Program. The
specific course titles, weekly contact hours, and grades received will be listed. Upon request,
further copies may be sent to the student's advisor.
You are responsible for all of your Zeugnisse or Scheine upon completion of your courses.
Especially for spring semester classes, there is a possibility that a professor may not have graded
all your work by the time you have to leave. The Program cannot issue credit without a
Zeugnis/Schein; it is the only document that proves you have completed a course. After your grade
has been posted by your professor, send the Schein as an e-mail attachment to
Salzburg_Program@umit.maine.edu. You can access your grade from PLUS-Online, the
Universität Salzburg’s student data information system. Credit is usually given according to the
following guidelines: A course that meets for 2 hours a week will be given 2 credits. A class that
meets for 3-4 hours a week will be given 3 credits. Classes meeting only 1 hour per week will be
given 1 credit. *You may take only 3 credits of English courses per semester and full-time is
considered to be a course load of 12 credits for one semester, or 24 credits if you are
attending for the full year.
NOTE: Over the years, some NEU students have asked professors of two-credit courses if they
could produce extra work in order to earn a third credit. Most always, professors are very open to
this and may help you to arrive at a topic for further study.
Make sure you are keeping in touch with your advisor at your home University so that you don’t get
caught short on needed credits, and keep a copy of your course descriptions for help in awarding
the appropriate transferred courses.
A NOTE TO UNIVERSITY OF MAINE STUDENTS
All Salzburg courses will become part of the student's official academic record and will be counted
as “credit hours earned.” Specific course titles and credits will be recorded. Grades of courses
taught by the Resident Director will be transferred, but other grades will not.
University of Maine students can earn up to 36 credits through this program, per academic year,
but no more than 24 hours total can be transferred toward a major in German.
No more than 3 credits of German-English translation courses are transferable.
16
Returning German majors are also required to take at least one upper level course at Maine for
each semester spent abroad.
Textbooks
Your professors will notify you of any books you need for the course. Some books are sold by the
professors themselves, some books are on reserve at the departmental libraries and some books
you will be required to buy on your own.
Academic Libraries: There are two types of libraries at the University. The Hauptbibliothek has
closed stacks. You can order your books using your library card (which is your Student ID), and a
computer. You pick up the books at the circulation desk about an hour later. The Hauptbibliothek’s
catalogue lists all the books in the entire university system, including the books kept at the
individual institute libraries. Other services at the Hauptbibliothek include: computer searches,
microfiche readers and photocopying. The Institutbibliotheken (i.e. Germanistik) are located at the
individual institutes and offer open stacks. However, the stacks are usually limited to those enrolled
in a class offered by that institute. Again, your student ID suffices as your library card.
Bookstores: Should you need to buy your own book, it’s best to shop around for the best prices.
The following is a fairly good list of bookstores to look into.
Rupertus:
here.)
Höllrigl:
Alpenverlag:
Motzko:
Dombuchhandlung:
Mora:
Dreifaltigkeitsgasse (texts for Deutsch als Fremdsprache are usually found
Sigmund-Haffnergasse 10 (in the Altstadt, also carries DaF books).
Rudolfskai 2, Staatsbrücke (sells English books, too).
Kaigasse (bargain books).
Kapitelplatz (technical books).
Residenzplatz (very friendly, small selection).
Photocopying: If your professor has put articles on reserve to photocopy, you will usually have
access to photocopiers in each institute. Your Hypo BankCard will also be your photocopy card.
Using an ATM (Bankomat), you will be able to easily transfer money from your bank account to the
Quick Chip on your card. It’s the cheapest way to photocopy in the city at a rate of €0.045 (that’s 4
1/2 cents!) per copy.
XI. Shopping in Salzburg
This section is designed to give to a brief overview of places to find anything from clothes to
bicycles in Salzburg.
Bicycles
Many more people ride a bike in Salzburg and in Europe for that matter. Since you won’t have an
automobile while you are here and having the freedom to come and go as you please without
depending on a bus schedule is nice, we recommend buying a bike. Unless you are a serious
mountain biker, leave your good bike at home! It’s expensive to bring on the plane, and you can
buy a cheap bike here and fit in with everyone else. The following is a list of bike shops in the area.
Keep in mind when looking for a bike that Austrian law requires you to have a front and rear light
and a bell. Even though Austrians do not usually wear a helmet, we recommend it.
Radsport Ebner: Leitmeritzstrasse around the corner from the RD (Werner Ebner knows our
program and offers great prices on used bikes!)
Velo Rep: Münchner Bundesstraße 4
Flöhmärkte: Check the newspaper (Salzburger Nachrichten) and flyers for the time and location.
17
Dorotheum: Auctions held every Thursday evening. Browse the items during the week and note
the number of the bike you want. Raise your hand during the Versteigerung!
Clothing:
H&M: Getreidegasse, Europark, Airport Center
C&A: Kiesel Shopping Center (near the Bahnhof)
SCA: Alpenstraße
Europark (mall)
Airport Center (mall)
Flöhmärkte: see note above
Paper goods:
Libro (SCA, Alpenstraße)
Pagro (next to SCA)
Toiletries:
dm-Drogerie: Universitätsplatz, Zentrum Herrnau
Schlecker: Leitmeritzstraße
Hofer: (mostly a grocery store, but sells shampoos, creams, etc.)
Medication:
If you have favorite over-the-counter medications, you may wish to bring a large supply of them
with you as non-herbal medicines can only be purchased at an Apotheke and WITH a prescription
from an Austrian doctor. Apotheken are located all over the city.
Also, bring a large supply of prescription medication with you. Your doctor will most likely fill such a
prescription if you show him or her that you’re going away for an extended period of time.
Saline solution is three times as expensive as in the US, so bring plenty with you!
House wares:
Sewa: Located around the city, you can find VERY cheap dishes and flatware here. Also sells
misc. items for your room.
Ikea: The Swedish store is here—great place! Located next to Europark.
Phone Services
The post office and a Tabak each sell phone cards which are probably the cheapest and easiest
way to call from a payphone. Make it clear that you wish to call from a Telefonzelle. A Tabak will
also sell “Prima Call” cards which allow you to call from a private phone—very good deal for €12.
At night, you can speak to someone in the U.S. for 15 minutes for about €1.00!
Important points:
* phone cards purchased in the US will not work abroad.
* US cell phones do not work in Europe unless you have your phone “unlocked” and buy a SIM
card.
* Glockengasse offers a cell phone deal.
* Internet café at the Mozartplatz sells phone cards for €10 per 100 units.
* Eurocards are €10 and the calls are about 4 cents/minute.
* ICC Primacards are about 12€ and are about 3 cents/minute.
This information can change quickly—check with students who have returned from Austria recently
or who are there currently. We can provide e-mail lists of those students.
18
Postal Services
There are post offices located throughout the city. You may send mail one of two ways, surface
mail or air mail. Surface mail is much cheaper but it takes longer. At the post office you can also
open a savings account, change money, send faxes, receive mail and packages and buy phone
cards and stamps. The U.S. still has the best-priced mail in the western world, so be prepared.
Historically, it costs about twice as much to send a letter from Austria to the U.S. as it does for your
parents to send you mail. And don’t go over to Germany to send mail home—it’s even more
expensive!
XII. Freizeit
Sports and Clubs
The University of Salzburg offers activities which are listed in the Handbuch (course guide) under
USI for Universitäts-Sportinstitut. The USI also has its own schedule of classes and trips which
comes out at the beginning of each semester; you can get one of these and sign up for a class in
the building directly behind the Anglistik department. There is a wide variety of classes to take—
anything from ping-pong to Funk aerobics. These classes usually meet once or twice a week. They
fill up early, so sign up a few days before classes begin. There is a nominal fee of about €10 per
semester for each course. These courses and the longer trips that the USI offers are strongly
recommended as a way of meeting and hanging out with Austrians. Some students find, however,
that the hours are inconvenient and prefer to join private clubs. There is also a Sportzentrum,
maintained by the USI in the nearby town of Rif about 30 minutes by Postbus. It has tennis courts,
a swimming pool, weight rooms and an impressive sport climbing tower.
Universitäts-Sportinstitut:
Universitäts- und Landessportzentrum Salzburg/Rif:
Those interested in Rugby, check out:

http://www.rugby-salzburg.at/
Those interested in singing, dance, instruments:
http://www.moz.ac.at/department.php?nr=14010&lang=1
At the University there are also gymnastics clubs, choirs, Musikkapellen and an Alpen Club. The
Drama Club puts on productions throughout the year that are open to the public.
The Volkshochschule in Salzburg is like an adult education program with a variety of interesting
and fun courses including Austrian cooking, Salzburg folk dancing, painting and modern dance.
People of all ages and nationalities take part in these courses.
For students interested in political or social issues, there is lots of information on activites listed at
the ÖH (Kaigasse 28) and in the offices of the Frauenreferat, Friedensreferat and the
Ökologiereferat. Connected with the Uni are also groups like the Verband Sozialistischer
Studentinnen Österreichs (VSSTÖ) and the Grüne und Alternative Studentinnen (GRAS). Two
politically active and international groups are Amnesty International and Greenpeace. Volunteer in
one of these groups and gain valuable experience, an international perspective and meet some
like-minded people.
Music and Cultural Activities
If you play an instrument, bring it with you. There are many bands and orchestras that you can join
(students have also made a little money as street musicians). Salzburg is one of the greatest music
centers on the continent and it has many orchestras, bands and choirs for every level of ability.
19
The Eisenbahner Musikverein and the Aigner Sängergruppe are two groups that welcome
American singers.
If you would rather listen to music than play it, concerts are never hard to find. Highly
recommended are the Schlosskonzerte, given in the castle, Schloss Mirabell, the Residenz and the
Mozart Seranaden. The Landestheater produces several fine operas every year as well as modern
and classical plays and ballets. There are also the Salzburger Marionetten. More modern style
theatres include the Kleines Theater on Schallmooser Hauptstrasse and the Elisabethbühne on
Elisabethstrasse. The Mozarteum Conservatory has many students and semi-professional
concerts each month, most of which are free. For concert listings at the Mozarteum, you may pick
up a monthly program from the front office at the Mozarteum.
Check out the Arge/Kulturgelände Nonntal on Mühlbacherhofweg (near Akademiestrasse). This
café/house/club has many different events from multi-cultural nights, folk music fests and
occasional avant-garde plays to straight-edge, hard core concerts. If you are into metal or
alternative music, also try the Rockhaus on Schallmooser Hauptstrasse or Schnaidl Musik Pub on
Bergstrasse.
Other Music and cultural activities:
* Rockhaus, Schallmooser Hauptstr.
* Arge Beisl, Mühlbachhofweg, close to the USI. Good food at student prices, variety of music and
theater.
* Landestheater: tickets two days in advance for only half price; tickets an hour before curtain, €6!
Religion
Austria is 78% Catholic and abounds with churches, from the awesome cathedral to the intimate
chapels. Their music, art and architecture forms a vital part of life here. Other denominations are
very active as well, including some religious groups at the University. Among the denominations
represented are: Baptist Church, Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, First Church of
Christ, Christian Scientist, Jehovah’s Witnesses, Lutheran Church, Mennonite Brotherhood,
Methodist Church, Islamic Cultural Center, Israeli Cultural Community.
Fortgehen - Going out
Most Austrian students like to socialize in the bars, at Studentenheim parties, or at UniversitätsFeste. A local favorite is O’Malley’s located near Getreidegasse and facing the Salzach. When
going out, busses generally run until 11 p.m. or midnight, depending on the number; plan ahead
and be safe. Always go with friends; although Salzburg is a safe place to live, you are better off if
you are not by yourself.
XIII. Travel
One benefit of attending the University of Salzburg is the vacation time! You have several blocks of
vacation throughout the year—use this time to travel! Why not take advantage of the fact that in
only a few hours you can see several different countries! The program will encourage you to
purchase an Austrian Vorteilskarte, a card that allows you to travel in Austria with discounts
between 45-50% and into border countries at a discount of 25%. Students in the past have bought
Eurorail or Interrail passes and seen Europe by train. Your major chunks of free time will be the
winter holiday break, the month of February, and Easter break.
A word about these passes... Eurorail passes are available to Americans; they are more expensive
and you must purchase them in the States for use in Europe. There are many types of Eurorail
passes so investigate which pass fits your schedule.
20
Interrail passes are cheaper and are only available to Europeans. However, once you have been in
Austria for 6 months, you are also eligible to use this type of pass. Your best bet is to buy a Lonely
Planet Guidebook of Europe. They are usually the best source for you to plan your trip. Again,
traveling alone is not recommended. Encourage one of your Austrian friends to go with you! A
helpful office: STA travel office, Fanny-von-Lehnert-Str. 1 near the Bahnhof, behind City Center.
Another option is to fly to a destination. Two England-based airlines offer VERY cheap airfare to
European destinations. It usually requires a stopover in London, but the wait is worth it. Look online
at these two websites:
www.ryanair.com
www.easyjet.com
The prices will be in British £. Check out www.xe.com/ucc for a currency converter.
If you are traveling abroad, some things to keep in mind:
Visas: Some countries require entry visas, so make sure you get these BEFORE you go. Usually
they are issued by the country’s embassy in Austria.
Money: Exchange your money in Austria before you go, so that you are guaranteed a fair
exchange. (This is more of a concern if you are traveling to Eastern Europe).
Locate American Embassies at all your destinations. Know where they are and how to get to
them or get in touch with them in case of an emergency.
If you plan to travel within Austria, you should use your Vorteilskarte. This card entitles you to 45%
off any ticket in Austria and also makes you eligible for deals offered outside of Austria. Also, you’ll
receive a 25% discount to countries that border Austria. You will need a passport photo. Go to any
ticket window at the Bahnhof to turn in your application, photo, and money.
If you want to take a trip to Germany, the Deutsche Bahn offers a Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket. It
is valid anywhere in Germany and allows five people to travel with you under the same ticket. Only
certain trains are valid with this ticket, make sure you know which ones you may travel on. If you
are planning to stay within Bayern, there is a single and a group Bayern-Ticket, good for travel
within Bayern for two to five people, including city transportation in Munich and Nuremburg. As with
the Schönes-Wochenende-Ticket, there are train restrictions. Both tickets also have time
constraints; make sure you are aware of them while you travel. All tickets can be purchased at the
Deutsche Bahn booth in the train station in Salzburg, but they are cheaper if you buy them at the
Automat next to the DB booth. Best advice: ask at the counter for information, then buy the tickets
yourself at the Automat!
XIV. Conclusion
Hopefully this Servus Brief has answered some of your questions. It has also probably made you
think of others. Do not worry about not knowing everything; you will adjust once you arrive.
Remember—the Resident Director is there to help you and you have contacts at the Salzburg
Program office at the University of Maine as well. The students in the program are there to help
you as well; they are going through the same adjustment that you are.
21
The Salzburger dialect will sound strange to you at first, but you will get used to it. You will be
amazed at what you can learn when you throw yourself into speaking German all day every day!
Reading, speaking, listening to the radio and watching TV are the best ways to learn German.
Don’t worry about your mistakes—you will improve. Learn to be patient with yourself.
If you have any questions or concerns, please remember when you are using email to copy the
NEU Program Office, the Program Director and the Resident Director in all correspondence.
Please remember that all participants in the program are expected to behave in a mature and
responsible manner. You are not only representing yourself, your family and your country while you
are abroad, but also your home university and this program. Please note that the program reserves
the right to dismiss students who are neglectful of their academic work or whose conduct brings
disfavor upon the program.
With that now said, we sincerely hope that you enjoy your time abroad and make the most of this
wonderful opportunity!
Wir wünschen euch ein erfolgreiches Jahr! Viel Spass!
