Universidade Fernando Pessoa

I made a student exchange in Brasil in 98-99. So I was speaking portuguese before to go in Erasmus. I choose Portugal because I didn't need to learn the language before to go there. But it was difficult to understand the teachers and sometimes to understand portuguese people because they have a different accent.

No

If you have the opportunity to make an erasmus exchange, do it. Sometimes it's not easy for everybody but it worth it. We learn a lot about life. And take the advantage of everything (travel (in all the north of Portugal and in the south of course to see beautiful beaches), contacts with local people, ...). Portugal is a good place to make an erasmus exchange because in the university of Fernando Pessoa, we work pretty much. So it's a good balance between fun and work.

it was a very good idea to make a house for all the eramsus of the university because in an experience like this, we need each other. But this one was so special (we had guards, we had time to come back home, we couldn't make any party, sometimes we didn't have water or hot water,...we are not children anymore!).But it was very cheap and in the end, it was a good experience. And I think that they modernize it now.

The old Porto is very nice to drink sth. You can go near the ocean (Foz da Luz) too. To go out, to go dancing, they is good places in Matosinhos. Porto is a very beautiful city with a lot o monuments or places to visit. You can take a guide book and be a tourist for some days... The cities near Porto are interesting too.
