Student Job
Finding part time work is generally not difficult as the Austrian university system is based on a flexible schedule. As a student you do not need a work permit. However, the amount of money you are allowed to earn is strictly limited. If you earn more you will be treated as working full time and are subject to taxes and more expensive social security deductions. Ask your employer: they will know. 


Universities often help with organising appropriate internships (i.e. magazine internships for media studies), esp. during the summer vacation

Accommodation 


As a student and as an employee finding a place to live is your job. University or company might support you, but in the end it depends on you. Especially in major cities housing can be hard to find.
Local newspapers usually have a section on housing, shared flats, etc. Local student unions are very helpful.
Check university bill-boards - they often offer places to rent for reasonable prices!
