HOUSING
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? I lived with a brazilian. It was a great location (30 sec. from University).
Personal comments:
The very helpful international offices provides a list with many oppertunities. Everybody can find something suitabel within 3 days. The university is to small to offer accomodations. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Nightlife, Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Nightlife in Sao Paulo is always in motion. The best spots today are old tomorrow. Mondays Urbano is a must, weekends in Villa Olimpia, ... This huge city has so many different offers - it is never borring there! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
ACADEMIC
My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
The brazilian teachers are better than the international ones. Do not take to many courses with these ones. Sigmar Malvezzi, Ibere Arco e Flexa, Paulo Standerski, David Hastings and Tedeschi are great! There are also very popular brazilian politicians teaching at GV.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
The University is not very academic. The quality of courses and teachers differs very much. Especelly for exchange students there are some very useless courses! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
English was not a problem at the university, because students as well as professors were able to speak english. Outside of the university it was very hard to find somebody speaking english. You should basic portugese before you go to Brazil, because otherwise it will take to much time to really enjoy this country! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
EXPENSES
The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
Personal savings Government assistance country assistance Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
Basic life in Brazil is much cheaper than in any european country due to a weakness of the Real. The nightlife and traveling is also much cheaper than in Europe, but you will have so many oppertunities and you will love it so much that you spend much more for this! Travel, Nightlife, Overall: was more expensive than at home. Food, Telephone, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Brazilian food is so good, that you will gain a lot of weight. By avoiding this you can save a lot of money! (No Churrascarias). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
OVERALL
Important to choosing this university...

Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Absolut great. It is the best education institution of Latin America. Small and familiar you will meet a lot new friends there and will have the best time of your life! FINAL COMMENTS
Enjoy this country and travel as much as possible, but also try to have a regular life in Sao Paulo, because this experience will be so different from your homecountry. You will find many, many new friends there. Compared to many other universities you will have many contacts with locals. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
