ClaraIESEG → ISCTE · Otoño 2025“- Visit the other neighbourhood (Principe Real, Estrela, Bica, Santos (also probably the best places to live in lisboa)
- Visit the gardens and the botanic gardens.
- The best playa to go by train the closest to Lisbon city center is Caxias. Explore all the miradouros (places with points of view) and go to the different quiosque (bars). My favorite Quiosques : Ribeira das naus, das Portas do Sol, Santa Catarina and Graça.
- Install Shotgun to get your tickets for the best parties.
- Follow the instagram account : this is lisbon ; you will have the promotion of the best electro / house / tech parties of Lisbon.
- My favorite restaurants were all probably in Santos (kind of modern bistrots, blending traditional and modern bold recipes)”
📍 Alcantara/Santo Amaro
ElioEMLYON BUSINESS SCHOOL → NOVA SBE · Otoño 2025“Strenghts:
- Great Campus (near the beach + easy to work from there)
- Registration was easy
- They are pretty quick to reply by email (professors / administration)
- Good professors & courses (courses are not mandatory, you can miss class if you want : I recommand to only go to practical classes if you need to find time to do something else, because the theoretical ones are just 1h30 of slides)
- Office hours
Weakness :
- It was hard to get the courses I asked (even though they say it's not competitive, it is, for example there were very few seats for the finance course, so I had to send a lot of emails to get one)
- You can't book more than 3h / day of "Group rooms" in the library”
💶 Pagó ≈ 500 €📍 Oeiras, 20min-walk from the uni
ThomasISCTE University → ISCTE University of Lisboa · Otoño 2025“Lisbonne est une ville magnifique, très dynamique et internationale. Il est assez facile d’y faire des rencontres, même en arrivant sans connaître personne.
Concernant l’université, le niveau est assez élevé et demande un investissement personnel plus important comparé à mon campus KEDGE BS Bordeaux. Pour ma part, les professeurs étaient toujours à l’écoute pendant les cours afin d’aider les étudiants, mais se montraient moins disponibles en dehors des heures de cours.
Je recommande fortement de se constituer un groupe de travail.
PS : La bibliothèque de l’université est top :) ”
📍 Marques de Pombal
DomitilleKEDGE → ISCTE · Año completo 2024“Yes, but pay attention to scams: always sign a contract and check agency fees carefully.
Neighborhood overview:
Alfama → historic, touristic, very pretty but hilly
Bairro Alto → central, active nightlife, but noisy
Chiado / Praça do Comércio → city center, more expensive
Príncipe Real / Marquês de Pombal / Rato → chic, safe, but pricier
Cais do Sodré → by the river, nightlife, but noisy”
📍 Where was it located? First semester: Anjos, on the green metro line. Easy to get to ISCTE, cheap, but I found the neighborhood not very lively. Second and third semester: Marquês de Pombal. I liked this neighborhood much more, it’s very well connected and chic.
