Would you recommend the city and the University of Faro to other students?

City is very lively in summer and there are a lot of things going on by night. Campus de Gambelas is very modern and highly equipped but a bit far from the city centre.

What is the food like?

Many traditional restaurants and other small bars which you have to look harder in order to find the best ones. Restaurants in the centre are sometimes too expensive.
