Austria? Ewww!

(I'm from Switzerland)
So? I didn't know that the Swiss disliked Austria... What have I missed? But be prepared, I might as well come to Zurich for my studies. ;-)

haha, just kidding

there is some sort of rivalry of course, but in a friendly way! Austrians are fun and we're organizing the Euro 2008 together (yeah!!).

You won't feel secluded at any university/eth in Switzerland -- there are about 30% international students, plus a lot of swiss students with an international heritage (turkey, spain, italy, former yugoslavia, etc.).
Most of the international students are German though. If I won't be able to study in the USA (eeek), I'll do my Bachelor in Zurich as well (or Geneva, don't know yet. but luckily there is no "admission process" anyway as long as you've done the Matura)
