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 :)
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Clubs : Lux Fragil, Palacio Chiado, Rumu, Ministerium. Restaurants : Boavista, Leonetta, JNcQUOI Asia, Instant Crunch, Lupita Pizza, Street Smash Burger. Café : Comoba. Events : Deep House Bible, Yard, Lisboa Fashion Week

Would you recommend it?
compared to prices in lisbon it was one of the cheapest (also utilities included), egas moniz uni was very accesible, although communication with the landlord was inconsistent (she replies every 2 weeks or so). the landlord is very money-oriented but since the price of the apartment is not that much it is not that painful. The vibe of people is nice (but maybe i'm just lucky).
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
most people go to erasmus corner the first weeks of their erasmus, so that's where you get your friend group, a month in and it's empty, so better be quick. most of the clubs near cais do sodre play latino music or brazilian phonk because there's lots of brazilians living in lisbon, so it's always a vibe, always eventful :D Lust in Rio, K Urban
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
well... the uni is great, it has amazing professors, though concentrating is hard when the weather is so nice and you go partying almost everynight :DD
Do you have some tips?
Campus is cool, registration was smooth. Though, the way their system functions, is unnecessarily complex. I'd come back here any day. Most of the students for physiotherapy and veterinary medicine are french, so if you have something against it - don't go. No internationality.
Best trips to do?
gotta see the whole Portugal - Nazare, Aveiros, Porto, Lagos, Albufeira, Praia da Ursa, beach in Sesimbra. if possible - Madeira and Azores.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Lisbon?
anyone under 23 a student can get their navegente card and ride for free, but that's lots of bureaucracy - nif number (nif4erasmus, any EU person can get it for 50 euros and save some headache), then go to finansas office. everything is so cheap that you end up buying a lot and the money is gone :D

Really great experience, I lived with the landlord who was kind, joyful and with whom you can talk about anything !
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
I feel like it's a nice place to talk with people and discover new things (sport / food / culture...) but I didn't really had time to discover all that so that's why I can't really rate it.
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
Great classes : - Finance - Data Analysis & Proba - Financial Accounting - Business Law Mid classes : - Management Accounting - Econometrics - Operation Management
Do you have some tips?
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

Best trips to do?
Cascais, 40 minutes away by train, Sintra, Algarve & Porto. you can also fly to Madeira or the Azores
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Lisbon?
Get a transportation card (the one that you get thanks to a NIF number) in order to have free transportation in Lisbon if you're under 23 years old. You can also pay 40€/month. Don't be afraid to go out by yourself in the beginning, you'll make friends very easily.

You have a lot of destination from Lisboa, you can go to Malaga, Madeira, Madrid for cheap. The flight with Ryanair and Easyjet are so interesting.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Lisbon?
Cost of living is high as every capital cities for example transport card is around 40€ every month if you don't have NIF number. To enter to the club you need to pay 20/30€ per entrance if you don't have an Erasmus card with discount.

The owner was so adorable, the appartment very clean, not that expansive, we had 2 cleaner persons 1 hour a week. We are only three roommates, which made it very agreable to live. I had a big bedroom, the kitchen was well-furnished (airfryier, coffee machine, toaster, condiments etc.) and we also had a big terrasse only for us.

Palacio do grilo, Urban backyards, Sobrio
Which classes do you recommend… or not?
The Wine tourism class and the Tourism and urban world class. Teachers passionated and kind. Also easy to validate if you attend the class and show interest for the subject.
Do you have some tips?
It's a public school and the campus is actually really great. Good cafeteria, integration day well-organized. Registration and people from the administration very kind and helpful. Teachers can be very comprehensive when it comes to move an exam earlier for erasmus people.
Best trips to do?
Algarve (10€ aller retour en bus), Porto (also very cheap by bus), the coast near Lisbon with cities like Nazaré, Ericeira, Peniche, Obidos (rent a car for 10€). You can also go to Cascais by train very easily (30 minutes approximately from Lisbon city center).
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Lisbon?
- 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)
you can attend football matchs for cheap price (even Champion's league). Check for Sporting club or Benfica (the two football clubs of Lisbon).

Investements is really hard, most of the courses are relatevely hard. However with the correct amount of personnal work you can easely get through the year and a half or whatever time you have over there. The only thing to not do is accumulate delays in your studying. Be desciplined and follow through the work needed per week otherwise you'll feel lost very quickly.
Do you have some tips?
good food in the "cantine". Cheap and good meals. Nice library to study in also.
Best trips to do?
Go anywhere in portugal, you've got trains, buses and planes available for cheap price depending on the time of the year, so much beautiful places to discover over there. Also if you like football, do yourself a favor and go see a match displaying porto and benfica, best rivalry in portugal, unreal atmosphere.
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Lisbon?
Talk to people, meet them in bars/pubs/nightclubs and so on, try not to stay only with the group of people you come with.
Have fun and try finding a balance between sports, parties and studying as fast as possible in order for you to enjoy your experience fully.
