Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
This time, I had to share my room with someone else, next time, I would like to have my own room. But the rest was okay, that is, having to share the kitchen etc. I think the best possibility for me to have my own room would be in an apartment.

Personal comments
The accomodation was old and far away from the university ( 20 minutes walk ), not to mention far away from the center ( 30 mintues walk ). However, everything was clean and worked ( washing machine etc. ). Besides, I liked living in a house with other Portuguese girls. Because of this I was forced to speak Portuguese.

Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: In a "Republica".

2)I had lunch and dinner cooked every day but sunday.
3)The house was very very big and had every kind of comodity.
4)The rent was very very cheap (compared with average of portuguese rents).

If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Living in an apartment allows you to live with people and learn other cultures and we follow rules to keep everything clean according to our own ideas. I recommend to live with 3p max.

There were many possibilities to find a house and a lot of places to live. There were exactly on the campus and allowed you to not take a transport to arrive to classes
