I currently study Languages, Literature, and Cultures at the Faculty of Arts of the University of Porto.
Classes are monologues. The Professors do not answer questions with any anachronistic conjunction justifying as “historical context”, making any debate impossible. There’s no type of paper to write. The students have one final exam at the end of the term. The institution treats the International Students from poor countries, as a way to make money to keep their business of selling diplomas going.
The University of Porto calls itself an International university, even though I only suffered xenophobia in the classroom. Their justification is that I don’t speak or write correct Portuguese because I am from Brazil.
The University of Porto is a xenophobic, racists, classist, ageist institution.
They are not forming good professionals or professionals at all.
