Location of the place
The location in my opinion is truly great. Perfect to travel arround. Especially attending various weekends in neighbour countries such as Hungary or Slovenia.
City
Graz is a student-ish city. Cozy and quite small. Everything is practicly reachable by walk. People bike a lot there.
Surroundings (possible trips, ...)
Its Austria! Countless places for hikes and beatiful lakes.

Social life
Meeting IAESTE members (pick-up at the airport, organized events...)
Locals were cool and very very nice. There was a regular table every week with free pizzas :) and as we all know interesting conversations and getting know new people happens over good pizza :D.
Meeting other foreign students
We were all living at the same place. And on my farewell party there was arr. 15 people all from different countries what else I can say to that :). Talking about differences of our cultures, sharing food and cooking methods became our daily bread. I considered them as my family.
Sport and culture
I will never forget the public watching of footbal when the national team was playing. Obviously they as post-austrian monarchy countries like drinking beer. Still the Czech beer is better.
Food, local specialties
The Shnitzel in the bread from SPAR
and my favorite soda - Almdudler

Benefits of the internship
Learning how to walk into the office (small talks are far more important than you thought), when to take breaks (its all about coffee in IT firms).
Cooperation with IAESTE in the foreign country
Smooth, fast and clear.
Overall experience with IAESTE
In a nutshell -> amazing, super cool, extraordinary, unforgetable.
