Generally, what is the University of Porto like?

The University of Porto is very spread, I mean it lacks one big campus with all the faculties nearby.

Nevertheless, it does have a lot of activities and a spirit of unity of different courses. You will see a lot of academic tradition, and a lot of "Harry Potter" like people. You'll get time to know about it!
