3.65 / 5 based on 24 reviews.
Description:
The Technical University of Lisbon (UTL) was created in 1930, as a confederation of older Faculties, and comprises, nowadays, those of Veterinary Medicine; Agricultural Sciences; Economics and Business Administration; Engineering, Social and Political Sciences; Architecture; and Human Kinetics. Despite being one of the largest Portuguese State Universities, the UTL has always adopted a decentralised organisational model. All Faculties have an ample degree of autonomy in pedagogic, scientific, administrative and financial matters.

HOUSING
by Claudia, Fachhochschule Rheinlandpfalz - Abteilung Kaiserslautern, Kaiserslautern, Germany
Interior Design, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: shared flat
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? The school didn't offer rooms on campus. The ones that were there were for underpreviliged students. Best chances to get a good sieze/cost value is to share flats, hoping not to be to late to get one in a flat already rented by students. Best ones are usually gone at the beginning/middle of September
Personal comments:
The person in charge of the program sure was no help in finding an accommondation. It was very hard to get use to the appartment-market, but once understanding the rules and reducing my expectations it was possible to get a nice room if willing to pay the price This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

EXPENSES

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Government assistance Other sources of funding:
Personal savings An ERASMUS grant work over there while going to university Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience Personal spending habits:
Prieces are higher trough import situation I guess.Plus I got way less payed for the same time/work Food, Nightlife, Overall, Telephone: was more expensive than at home. Travel, Housing: was the same price as at home.
Personal comments:
I didn't expect the room to be so expensive. The general rule that products in big stores are cheaper does not apply! Most of the time they are equal and not worth the time to go out all the way to the superstores. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
not really =) In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
although the personell is nice, you have to be prepared it's a specific country and not everythng is always on schedule, so don't be surprised if the will be late in any way(administration, classes, information..)...take it easy! FINAL COMMENTS
travel asmuch as you can, enjoy every moment of your stay. i would reccomend if visiting south of portugal to go and visit the town of Tavira and the island(Ilha de Tavira)..it's amazing.if you can try also to take surf course(they have some close to lisbon- beach called Carcavelhos, it's on the way o Cascais-take the local train from Cais do Sodre in Lisbon), girls watch out for annyoing boys =)and take care of your skin..the sun can get pretty hot! and deffinetly take some capoeira classes(there's a good angola group in Lisbon, close to Elevador da Gloria) This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
