I’m planning to go to TU Wien to study Bachelor for Spatial Planning and wanted to know how hard is to be accepted beacuse it said that there are only 200places .

Ps:Im non-Eu citizen and Im supposed to be a B1-2 Level speaker when i get there.

I did CS in 2016, so I'm not exactly the most relevant person but I'll share some general thoughts. For context, going by this list https://www.tuwien.at/studium/studienangebot/bachelorstudien/raumplanung-und-raumordnung/aufnahmeverfahren/pruefungsstoff-reihungstest, our part 1 was obviously different but the same in spirit, and parts 2 and 3 were the same.

I can't find any concrete numbers on how many people usually attend (other than an article from 2020 saying that they didn't hold one because too few people applied anyway) but I also didn't look very hard because it's late.

My own impression of my own exam was that if you actually carefully read through the book they gave you a couple of times and had a good grasp of it and tried to prepare a bit for part 2, you'd be ok. Time management was also important for us since (even in the years after me) the general consensus was that it's impossible to do the whole thing in time. I can't guarantee that that hasn't changed, but I'd still prioritize areas where I'm confident (e.g., if you notice the German text is way above your level, leave it for last and worst case just guess. Assuming there are still no negative points, leave absolutely nothing blank before you turn it in).

Still, I'd highly recommend having a plan B, either as a different program without an entrance exam at the TU or elsewhere in Vienna, or a similar study program in a different city but that makes the issue of finding accommodation harder.

Also as far as part 2 goes, I was okay with B2 back then, but keep in mind that the general required language level has increased to C1 meanwhile, so the complexity of their part 2 might have followed the trend. Afaik no accommodations were made for people with weak German back in my time.

Thank you so much.Thats the best possible answer i could look for!But i have some questions.
For the book you mentioned is the materilas that the university will give me?
Is the university hard as for the method of learning beacuse I get it as time consuming as every other university.
And for the renting.How many months prior should i plan or book the house i will be renting?
Again thank youu so much!!!

Yes, they already have. I suggest carefully going through the site I linked. It's also available in English, I just realized that might have been the issue. ARREMBESTMODXD https://www.tuwien.at/en/studies/studies/bachelor-programmes/urban-and-regional-planning/admission-procedure/ranking-test

I wouldn't dare to comment on this since the experience varies wildly by department. My overall quality of studies in CS was a lot better than what I hear from Physics students for example. As a rule of thumb, if you're interested in the subject and willing to put in the work, you'll graduate. Factors like having a job, focusing more on social life etc. will have an impact on when, though, but studying isn't impossible of course.

And for the renting.How many months prior should i plan or book the house i will be renting?

The sooner the better, honestly especially for cheaper dorm organizations. They generally don't need any sort of documents, payments, etc to apply, so it's best to do it early, specify your desired moving-in date, and wait for a contract offer. Since it's first come first serve, the later you do it, the greater the chance is that you won't get a place.
