Personal comments
tasquilado is the best place for night. for wednesday nights Bar academica next to the residence is a good option to spend all night. Cervejeria Martins in Largo do Tural is a nice pub to eat and drink for the early hours of the night before going out.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
i would choose to live in an apartment with other erasmus students. It is easy to find a room or a flat. you just have to be open minded to live together with strangers.

Personal comments
Portuguese is really hard to learn in 5 months. the best option is to take a beginners course before you come to Portugal. There you can improve easily in two months by practice. And most of the Portuguese people don't speak Enlish so do not trust in you English Skills.
