Personal comments
I am ver thankful for the international affairs committee for having arranged me the accomodation, and constantly making sure that everything was OK with me. Also, I had the most perfect host of all: Mrs Goulart both taught me Portuguese and Brasilian culture, and also become one of my best friends.

The University holds a great staff of professors, that despite all the troubles of lack of infrastructure, still manage to provide great education.

“Fashion Manager”
Karen T
Portugal, Graduate
Design (Fashion, Graphic, Industrial, Web), 1997
Overall
The courses were really new the year I was studying. Three types of segment, stylist, manager and coordination, but a good overview. Small classroom, not so many students, which was nice to learn. Good building and rooms equipped with adequate material. I recommend it because it was a great learning experience

Personal spending habits
Well, things like food and accommodation are considerably cheaper. But one tends to go out more at night and travel in Brazil so you end up spending quite a bit here, but only because your doing it more.

Make sure your bank at your home country doesn't charge you a heavy transaction fee for cash withdrawals from brazilian ATMs. It varies from bank to bank.
