The prestigious University of Lisbon
Anonymous rated 3 out of 5 stars
This university is of great prestige in Lisbon. Overall, it is a good and supportive institution that cares about their students. However, in my case some courses or classes were not as described, meaning that I ended up studying not very interesting courses.
The start to the rest of my life
Anonymous rated 4 out of 5 stars
Overall, I had a good experience at this university. I believe it contributed greatly to the person I am today, teaching me to overcome challenges and difficulties. A lot of the courses I took were pretty demanding, which taught me to be more resilient and motivated. In the end, I truly enjoyed learning new things, especially in the area of programming and econometrics....
