Experience in Coimbra (Portugal), by Daniela

It's a beautiful city, very peaceful, in the middle of Portugal. There isn't much stress around here.

What is the student lifestyle like in Coimbra?

Full during the weekdays and empty during the weekend. It's easy to get rooms around the UC or other institutions. You have everything in the palm of your hand, so we could say that the student life is easy. I think it's a nice place to make friends, especially during parties.
