Hallo zusammen, ich bin ein Student aus Rumänien und unsere Fakultät bietet uns eine Menge Erasmus-Austauschprogramme für Studierende an. Ich habe die portugiesische Kultursprache schon immer geliebt, daher bin ich daran interessiert, ab September/Oktober für ein Semester dorthin zu kommen. Welche Städte eignen sich am besten für das Studentenleben? Hier sind meine Optionen. Ich studiere Internationale Beziehungen und Europastudien. Ich interessiere mich wie gesagt für Kultur, möchte aber auch ein Nachtleben, die Möglichkeit, möglichst viele Menschen kennenzulernen und natürlich ein gutes, relativ hohes Bildungsniveau. Danke schön!

NOVA UL is a significantly better University, academically speaking, than the others. Student life-wise Coimbra is Queen: It has the oldest university in Portugal and it still leaves and breads its traditions. I wouldn’t consider either one of the other 3.
If you can afford Lisbon, go Lisbon.
I have studied in Coimbra and recomend it the most.
Coimbra is known as the city’s student yet I’d take Lisbon because the university is way more recognized and there’s plenty of things you can do there. If you want to go surf you go, if you want party you go, if you want to build a good cv NOVA has some impact. You can get access to opportunities at NOVA that you wouldn’t at other places.
Better University – Nova
Better student life – Coimbra
Lisboa if you want full urban experience, Bragança and Portalegre if you want something more peaceful and less expending, Leiria and Coimbra if you want someting in between.
Leori has ben kinda destoyed after a big ass storm that hit us but major things are back up and running, its a calm city with alot of frabication amd work.
Lisboa is amazing, but very expensive. I would choose Coimbra, it’s known as the student city. Please, don’t put any other as as option, you would hate it
The option available for Coimbra is not the University of Coimbra but the Polytechnic University. Do you know what school of the Polytechnic University offers studies in International Relations and European Studies?
Btw, if you’re studying engineering, the NOVA engineering campus is not in Lisbon, but in Monte da Caparica, which is south of the river Tejo. It’s not far and many people still live in Lisbon to then go to said campus, but it’s something to consider.
Better house pricing for example, but the region is way less evolved or pretty than central lisbon
either way I studied there and really enjoyed it, but it’s something worth noticing, because even though it’s called „NOVA Lisbon“, there is a campus that is not in Lisbon
Salut. As an Erasmus student I would choose Coimbra even if you won’t be studying at the university, it is known as the city with more student traditions. Apart from that, the University in Lisbon is probably the most reputable for that course but I don’t think it will matter much, also Lisbon is much more expensive.
Wow, that’s ironic.
I was a Nova student who did Erasmus in Cluj-Napoca about twenty years ago!
Anyway, since I personally know Bragança and Portalegre from having family in both cities, I’d recommend Lisbon and Coimbra because they are more central and more connected to traditional student life.
FYI the University of Coimbra is one of the oldest universities in the world.
Not bashing Bragança or Portalegre for their quality of teaching, just that these cities are really far from the rest of the country and are veeeeeeery chill and different from the rest of the country. But if it’s what you’re looking for, go ahead.
I myself stayed in Cluj, which I’d say is kinda like a Romanian Coimbra. At least from my experience there.
Happy choices mate!
Lisbon is by far the best university there academic wise, but you will experience a hard time finding decent affordable accomodation and the city can be stressfull.
Coimbra would be the best experience as its a city pretty much devoted to students, Leiria is ok but the region suffered damages with this winter weather and stuff might not be 100%, Bragança and Portalegre are in very rural areas far from any major city implying big commutes to airports, but this small places are usually pretty chill, i know Bragança better and it has a nice student community.
