Personal comments
All my erasmus collegues lived in appartments with other erasmus students or with portugese people. An advantage of living with portugese people is the possibility of practicing the language more than living with erasmus students.

Everybody loved it, you will too!
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
As this university is specialized in economics, these classes are sophisticated and the exams are pretty difficult. Classes in management are interesting, too and the exams are doable.

Final comments
For me Lisboa was the best place to do an exchange semester. Lisboa offers a lot of things to do and Portugal is a country where you can travel around easily. Don't forget a sleeping bag. It's useful for travelling and Lisboa's flats are quiet cold during nights sometimes until march.
