Are their demands really that unreasonable?

Would you want to live in Afghanistan or Pakistan? If you can't say 'yes' to that question, then don't complain when people there say 'no'.

At first glance, this is reasonable, but consider that this would apply to most of the world. And if every who wants to leave for this reason is granted free entry into Austria, very soon Austria will not be much wealthier than those places as well.

If you don't want people to come, give them a reason to stay. In many places, there is not a reason to stay. Tackle the problems of poverty and global inequality, then many asylum seekers won't want to move to the rich places any more.

The FPÖ says that the interior of the Church where those 50 or so asylum seekers are sleeping and living for almost a month now is looking "like a trash can" and that the "smell of urin is everywhere".

The former part would apply to most students, I'd say...
