Personal comments
I choose the University "Nova de Lisboa" in order to improve my English and to learn a new language. I managed to achieve these goals and it motivated me to improve Portuguese. Now I follow a personal course in Brussels.

Final comments
Lisbon was a good place to travel and to meet people. Renting a car or taking a bus to go to Algarve or to Alentejo is worth and doesn't cost too much. There are also a lot of places to visit near Lisbon.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Family
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
I spent more because it was the first time I was leaving by my own, not in my family anymore. I had to pay everything. I travelled a lot, and called often my friends in Lisbon and my family. But in general, life was cheaper in Lisbon than in Brussels.

Personal comments
Bairro Alto is the best area to go at night. There are a lot of cafes and restaurants. My favourite bar was "Mezcal". Otherwise, during the summer, the Miradouro(s) are very pleasant. For dancing, the"Doca's" or "Lux" are also good places.
