I'm trying to decide where to go to study abroad and am stuck at the moment.

Convince me of one or the other, if you have been to them.
 
swizterland....austria is just all open country side..except for vienna....otherwise switzerland is close to other countries if u ever wanted to go on a day trip or anythign and u've got the good mountains around u
 
If it were up to me I'd say Switzerland. I've never been to either though so I can't really tell you much else.
 
i have family in both and have spent a mass amount of time in both..... they are pretty similar but i like the people and landscape in austria better.
 
i went to switzerland last summer and the place is soo nice. as long as your in the alps you can always go skiing, hiking or biking. i wish i could back right now. the only problem is everything is so darn expensive
 
i would say just go to the place where ur going to get more poon....and it all comes down to...do u like ice cold chocolaty swiss poon....or mountain fresh austrian poon
 
Id have to say from my experience the girls in Austria are hotter, but they are also super fashion concious and chachy etc, plus they are used to having guys grovel for them so they think they are hot shit. Swiss chicks were chiller, but more sisteresque then smoking i want to bone you till you cry my name in a foreign language esque. They are both awesome countries bop around both and make your decision
 
Switzerland is more expensive to do everything and has more ludicrously posh people. Night life in Austria is better. Swiss resorts are slightly better for skiing overall.
 
Where abouts would it be?

I have to say, they both have very expensive resorts. Switzerland has the likes of Verbier and Zermatt, whereas Austria has St Anton and Ischgl - all of which are awesome.

Personally I'd recommend Austria - the best resorts have railways, so you can get to them easily for just day or so. Plus the nightlife is better, beers are cheaper and the off-piste is unbelievable. Oh and the resorts are much prettier.
 
Should I go to Kazakhstan or Uzbekistan? I don't fucking know, what do you want to do there besides 'study? Where do you have in mind besides narrowing it down to two very similar countries in the same part of Europe? How much do you have to spend? How long are you going for? Will you be able to travel around?

Austria has better beer.
 
It'd probably be Vienna on one side but I'm not sure where yet in Switzerland. I have a few months to decide so I thought I'd see what aspects of each country that people like better.
 
Hmm well that means you're closest to the Tirol - gorgeous place, normally has a pretty good snowfall (though hardly the greatest in Europe)

The Arlberg area with St Anton and Ischgl are about an hour further - but all accessible via railway. But you're looking at 4 or 5 hours to resort by train wherever you go. Maybe 3 if you go to the closest, but I'm not sure which that is.

If you don't mind the distance to the mountains, go to Austria. It has far more to offer. But then you really need to know where in Switzerland before you make up your mind.

Either way, the mountains all have wayyyy more piste and off-piste than your side of the pond (try 240km pistes and 83 lifts in an average resort) so you're very lucky to be going.
 
i could be wrong. but my teacher told us that austria is a poorer country in mosts parts, switzerland isnt. i did a report on switzerland and its pretty cool i would say go there....
 
Let me put it this way. The royal families of the UK and other countries go to Switzerland skiing - its expensive!
 
Switzerland is sweet, but it's really expensive. I liked Austria a little better. I was only in the Innsbruck/Salzburg region though, so I'm not sure how Vienna is. Both countries are sweet though, so whichever one you choose you'll have a great time.
 
Switzerland wasn't BAD it just wasn't what i expected. in Austria i went to Vienna and Salzburg, and they were both really awesome and beautiful. my bro studied in Vienna for a year, and he loved it.
 
switzerland! I've been there and it is absolutely breathtaking.you definitely should go. Swiss people are sooo nice and most speak english, i don't know about austria maybe they do there too and im just sounding unintelligent
