Challenging but rewarding academic experience
FCUP is a great institution if you are serious about Science. The professors are very knowledgeable and experts in their fields. The campus at Campo Alegre has a really nice atmosphere with green spaces to relax between classes. However, the workload can be quite heavy and demanding, and some facilities could use a renovation. Overall, I will recommend it for the quality of education and research opportunities.
Good university
If you want to have a good degree on higher education in Portugal, Porto is one of the best you can get. It has good facilities, most of its faculties are well known and have good international reputation.
Erasmus life in Porto
Great experience. Traditional University with a lot of different experiences you can face. Very welcome to international students. A lot of social life, not perfect in terms of job market access. Would recommend for an Erasmus student, also because it is cheap and is located in a small city but with a lot of things to do.
