along the lines of the Sorbonne in Paris."

"It is the oldest university
in the German-speaking world
and one of the largest in Central Europe."

are enrolled at the University of Vienna,
in more than 170 courses,
of which 52 are Bachelor Programmes.

  2. Yes--what a beautiful school! I'm one of those people who could be a perpetual student and I always enjoy visiting colleges and universities...so my job is perfect for me! Thanks for the link to your chef friend who also went recently to Pike's Place market in Seattle. It is indeed a small world!

  10. Andy student having the privilege to study in that university should feel immensely proud. Not only for the beautiful architecture but also for the undisputed international reputation of academic excellence.

  12. What a grand place to be. I am always intrigued by places that bring the past into the present. They are humbling and awe-inspiring. And they remind me that life is very, very short.

    You are a ruthless [and delightful] scientist with a lens.
