Take care of your bag in downtown and Ribeira, there are lot of thiefes. Never buy bus tickets in the bus,it´s more expensive (double price). There is a student festival in may, called Queima das Fitas, that is really amaizing. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

The best part of Erasmus is to discover the world and discover your limits. I managed everything after i got there. In my opinion:

Personal recommendation:
The examination throughout the semester is very useful and gives you time for everything (like having fun, travel and study in the same time). The continuous need for study helps you to accumulate important information and the quality of teaching is high. I remained with great knowledge about the worldwide economic environment after 6 months within the university. FINAL COMMENTS
Everyone should join Erasmus Scholarships all over the world! It opens your mind, your soul, your future, your perspectives. It will definetly change your life and your expectations in a way you don't even realize it before going! It's the best way to describe a student life with great future goals both from a career perspective and personal objectives. Go for it, don't even ask yourself if you should try it or not! Erasmus is one of the little things that you don't need to think about it before actually do it. It can't be bad! I am very thanksful for the people I have met in 6 months and for the things that everyone taught me! This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Before leaving for Porto I had some brief e-mail communication with ex-Erasmus students in Portugal to find out more about accomodation in order to prevent the inconvenience of staying in a hotel during the first week/weeks since the arrival date was the same as the begining of the semester. I did some research concerning the country and University. However I did not try to get too much information since I consideres that dealing with problems on the spot was a more rewarding experience.

I think while being Erasmus student it's important not to forget about learning not anly from books and lectures but mostly from life situations. I would advise travelling as much as possible and trying to get to know local people and culture too. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

to have the sea near porto was excellent. go to lisbon, traval to évora and the alentejo and go definitely to watch a football game. it's quite easy to get in touch with local people. and if they are friendly to you they really mean it. just the opposite of the united states...
