Organisation:
IST is organised very poorly. They enrolled us in a master that did not exist. After that the communication was not smooth and we had to fix everything by ourselves.
Moreover, one of the ‘new classes’ also did not exist. We had to discover this ourselves again. Again, the communication was not clear.

Classes:
The professors and classes were okay. Some were chaotic but it was not a deal-breaker.
I have learned some new things.

Location/campus:
The best thing about IST is the location, it is located in the centre of the city and is easy to get to. However, the Campus feels outdated and it even rains inside (Engineering building nonetheless).
The sports fields were very nice and cheap.

Accommodation:
There was some information provided but nothing special. I found my space on myself.

Instituto Superior Técnico is the best engineering school in Portugal and one of the best in Europe. Studying there is very demanding and the social life is scarce, but the career prospects are superb.
