Why did you choose to go to Covilhã, Portugal?

I don't know. It was a blind fate.

How long is the scholarship? How much money do you receive to help you with living costs?

I was on 2nd (spring-summer) semester. I receive 350 € per month from my university + 100€ own savings. It was enough for live, travel and parties.

What is the student lifestyle like in Covilhã?

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

Of course.

Dormitory - Residence Santo Antonio. Cost me 100€ and I got 5-10 min by foot to university.

100€ - dormitory + 150€ food + 200€ ( travel / parties).

What's the easiest or most economical way to travel to Covilhã from your city?

Now it's Ryanair I think. I go there by TAP Portugal ( Warsaw - Lisbon) and next by train to Covilha. I came back by bus to Porto, and Ryanair ( Porto - Paris - Warsaw).
