Erasmus life is the best, people is the best in Lisbon, but nightlife is very interesting, and the cultural offer is amazing and quite cheap, there're a lot of reductions in prices for students. Lisbon is very calm if you want but very active if you don't want to stop.And portuguese people is very, very polite and kind.

Use the TAP auction through the web site to get cheap tickets home at the last minute. If you run out of food or cigarettes until 4am use the last night Cafe in Saldanha.

Travel as much as possible, Try to discover everything is Lisbon, Make sure go to Algarve, Do not miss Coimbra festival in may, Do not miss "Carnaval" in February in Alçobaça, Eat Pasteis de Belem, Surf, Do not sit in the back of the bus after midnight, sit infront seats.
