The courses were held in English, but in the beginning we had to chose one course in portugueses even if i didn't know the language well. The teachers were kindly to help us and we had no problems at the end of the programme.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
Sharing a house with other foreign Erasmus students was a very good learing experience. Living with other 5 people of different countries teaches one how to approach cultural differences, how to plan and share resources.

Piolho is THE place in Porto where all the young people gather before going to a bar,club... If you are in the city and don't know where to go, go there and ask people where you can go after, as it closes already at 2 am

The best time is the time spent with your friends. There are wonderful places near Foz and Ribeira. For a dinamic nightlife, there are clubs in the center of the city full of students starting with midnight.
