Personal comments
The first accomodation was terrible, for cleanless and for language problems. The second was perfect. Probably it's easier for girls to find single accomodation and almost impossible for guys, that have to find at least 2 other people for sharing a house. The university is 10 kms. far from Lisbon and not good linked, especially in the night. The best chioce is to carry your own car.
