HOUSING
by eva, Universidad Complutense de Madrid, Madrid, Spain
Psychology and Behavioural Sciences, Erasmus
Personal assessment
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? Because I like to have an independent life from university, I like to share the house with different people, but with rules we decide, not imposed (as in residences)
Personal comments:
All I know is that even if the accommodation at the university was cheaper, you had to share the room, and I didn't like it This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
STUDENT LIFE

History, Independent
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
Bairo Alto is not to be missed. One of the oldest neighborhoods in Lisbon and full of great bars, restaurants and nightclubs. In the Santa Apalonia district which is the eastern part of the city there are all kinds of nightclubs popping up. One must take a day trip to Sintra which is like fairy tale land and out to Guincho for a full view of the ocean. The state of the Alentejo is a must see.. Evora is beautiful, the beaches are breathtaking and pristine, and the cuisine is out of this world. Also, anyone and everyone must go once to Belem for the Pasteis de Belem.

My academic experiences
Course recommendations:
You have to follow each course with the maximum attention because the most of the teachers doesn't allow you to study individually and do directly the final exam.
My opinion of the university assessment
Personal comments:
I think it's better to leave to students more indipendence in planning their studies. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: Portuguese
Was learning Portuguese a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my Portuguese How much did you improve your Portuguese?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: At ease in most situations Personal comments:
When I arrived I couldn't say a word.I had thought it was going to be easier being spanish, but I found that not only I wasn't able to say anything, but I couldn't even understand. This was the first month, then I started to understand easily and finally learnt to pronounce more or less as they do. I think, knowing other languages helped me a lot, especially french, because it sounds similar. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
I didn't know much before I left, I wasn't even sure I'd have actually got my grant... it was a bit scary like that, but I'm pretty much of an adventurer... In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
Try to get the hang of it asap. It's not well organised... FINAL COMMENTS
Travelling and housingis not so cheap, if compared to average portugues income. Still, it's very cheap for most Europeans. On the other hand, it's not really worth working there as pay is ridiculous. Best saving up before going or working in home country in between your stay This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
