In 1908, Austria-Hungary officially [[Bosnian crisis|annexed]] Bosnia and Herzegovina, to the chagrin of South Slav nationalists like Andrić.{{sfn|Vucinich|1995|p=20}} In late 1911, Andrić was elected the first president of the Serbo-Croat Progressive Movement ({{lang-sh-Latn|links=no|Srpsko-Hrvatska Napredna Organizacija}}; SHNO),{{efn|The full name of the group was The Croat-Serb or Serb-Croat or Yugoslav Progressive Youth Movement.{{sfn|Malcolm|1996|p=153}}}} a Sarajevo-based secret society that promoted unity and friendship between Serb and Croat youth and opposed the Austro-Hungarian occupation. Its members were vehemently criticized by both Serb and Croat nationalists, who dismissed them as "traitors to their nations".{{sfn|Dedijer|1966|p=216}} Unfazed, Andrić continued agitating against the Austro-Hungarians. On 28 February 1912, he spoke before a crowd of 100 student protesters at Sarajevo's railway station, urging them to continue their demonstrations. The Austro-Hungarian police later began harassing and prosecuting SHNO members. Ten were expelled from their schools or penalized in some other way, though Andrić himself escaped punishment.{{sfn|Vucinich|1995|pp=26–27}} Andrić also joined the South Slav student movement known as [[Young Bosnia]], becoming one of its most prominent members.{{sfn|Hawkesworth|1984|p=41}}{{sfn|Lampe|2000|p=90}}

In 1912, Andrić registered at the [[University of Zagreb]], having received a scholarship from an educational foundation in Sarajevo.{{sfn|Hawkesworth|1984|p=14}} He enrolled in the department of mathematics and natural sciences because these were the only fields for which scholarships were offered, but was able to take some courses in Croatian literature. Andrić was well received by South Slav nationalists there, and regularly participated in on-campus demonstrations. This led to his being reprimanded by the university. In 1913, after completing two semesters in Zagreb, Andrić transferred to the University of Vienna, where he resumed his studies. While in Vienna, he joined South Slav students in promoting the cause of Yugoslav unity and worked closely with two Yugoslav student societies, the Serbian cultural society ''Zora'' (Dawn) and the Croatian student club ''Zvonimir'', which shared his views on "integral Yugoslavism" (the eventual assimilation of all South Slav cultures into one).{{sfn|Vucinich|1995|p=28}}

Despite finding like-minded students in Vienna, the city's climate took a toll on Andrić's health.{{sfn|Vucinich|1995|p=29}} He contracted tuberculosis and became seriously ill, then asked to leave Vienna on medical grounds and continue his studies elsewhere, though Hawkesworth believes he may actually have been taking part in a protest of South Slav students that were boycotting German-speaking universities and transferring to Slavic ones.{{sfn|Hawkesworth|1984|p=14}} For a time, Andrić had considered transferring to a school in Russia but ultimately decided to complete his fourth semester at [[Jagiellonian University]] in [[Kraków]].{{sfn|Vucinich|1995|p=29}} He transferred in early 1914.{{sfn|Hawkesworth|1984|p=14}} Andrić started his literary career as a poet. In 1914, he was one of the contributors to ''Hrvatska mlada lirika'' (Croatian Youth Lyrics) and continued to publish translations, poems and reviews.{{sfn|Vucinich|1995|p=29}}
