Would you recommend it?
Honestly I like where I live this year, it is perfectly located, I have everything I need near me. If I had to choose again, I will choose the same place but it's nice too to go to residence like Odalys for example (but more expensive), there are well located and very clean with equipment. There are a lot of students there.
🍻 Social Life
What are some top bars, clubs, or events you recommend?
Best party street is Galleria De Paris and the streets near, you can find bar (Baixa, Stone's, Base,...) and nightclub (MoreClub, PlanoB, Districkt, Lust). There are nice chill bar near the Douro too to enjoy the view (Bosco for exemple).
🎓 Uni life at FEP - University of Porto

Every course are interesting, however it depends on your level, I don't recommend to take Econometrics methods which is very complicated. I take Portuguese course that are very nice (Formula of 60euros)
Do you have some tips?
Registration easy and accessible, city tour proposed. Nice classroom, teachers, and campus. very accessible in transports (5min from the tramway - Pole universitario)
✈️ Travel
Best trips to do?
I went to Lisbon, Amarante, Aveiro and Albufeira in Portugal, is very accessible in Flixbus and very cheap (between 6-10 euros). And from Porto you can go by car in Spain.
🌆 Porto vibe
What do you absolutely need to know to live your best life in Porto?
It's rainy but not cold (be in t-shirt in October), I'm a girl and I can say it's safe and I feel confident to go out by night. Portuguese people are very nice but don't talk always English so it's hard to make you understandable.
