Personal comments
Teachers should pay attention so foreign exchange students who do not speak the local language are not left alone. Also, the Erasmus office at UNL should be friendlier and be OK with speaking in English instead of scolding fresh-comers for not speaking fluent Portuguese already.

Food is very cheap in Portugal as well as going out compared to Vienna. But that makes you sometimes spend more than you would at home.

Personal spending habits
you travel more, you want to get to know to the country, you go out more, because you want to get to know to people and get friends, phoning from mobile phone is much more expensive than in austria, besides that you also want to call your family, friends,... from home

Work opportunities:
I worked, but it was illegal/cash in hand work
Personal spending habits
You will probably have a different life style (e.g. go out more)
Some kind of food (coffe, snacks, fruits..) and taxis are cheaper in Portugal.
