Personal comments
I spent one month in the university's residence and it was a nightmare. It's one hour far from the university and the city center, it had a lot of restrictions (nobody allowed to enter our room,we had to ask permission for parties, return before 1p.m. otherwise the door was locked), very little facilities, rude guards and wires all around in order us not to escape!!!!

The life in Portugal is cheaper than in Belgium but we liked to visit, to travel, to eat outside, ... because we are not in our country. We wanted to discover.
