MEET FRIENDS AT ÖH-EVENTS

Another classic among students: ÖH organizes different events and activities across Vienna. One of the most popular activities is “Spritzerstand” which is your opportunity to meet new people while drinking cheap wine.

We really like the idea of these events. The only warning is that they are very popular and sometimes very busy. This can be very intimidating if it’s your first time. It’s still worth to follow ÖH on Instagram and Facebook to see whenever they upload new events.

HOBBY COMMUNITIES

But what can you do if you don’t study anymore and don’t have access to all those uni events? Well, an easy trick is to simply join one of the many hobby communities in Vienna. No matter whether you’re a fan of tennis, board games or films, there is for sure some community that you can join.

Simply google your hobby or search for a suitable Facebook group. Normally these communities are very happy to get new members, so simply give it a try and meet up with them.

YES-THEORY

Maybe you already know the Yes Theory Community. It’s a community of active people all around the world who meet up for fun activities

Often they meet up for quite crazy activities, but you can simply join their Facebook or WhatsApp group to get to know some of them. We know quite a few Yes Theory members in Vienna and they are all really lovely people! So we can definitely recommend you to join their community.
