I do not live in Austria but down south in Germany. I can tell you that you should not worry too much. Austria, like Germany, is in many ways years ahead of the US in terms of health-care, social services and safety. The cost of living is relative. Housing is a bit steep for what you get. Apartments often come stripped down, meaning no kitchen, no lamps and no closets. You buy your own and to people here that makes a lot of sense. Food in Austria is more expensive than in Germany but the quality makes up for the price. As for safety, common sense is always the best weapon. Men here are less forward toward women than Americans but working at a bar things may be different. If she has a good head on her shoulders and some street smarts she'll be just fine.
