Overall, the experience of being a student of Universidade do Minho was very positive. The staff is friendly and you can find almost all kind of essential services in the Gualtar campus. All of the campuses are located near public transport services, with good accessibilities. Most of the professors are very experienced in their fields of studies and try to provide tools and knowledge to everyone. A few issues regarding choices of subject areas could be improved. The ‘outside of class’ environment is great, with very interesting extra-curricular activities: volunteer associations, sports teams and music groups that have become a tradition. I only wish the university had more partnerships with companies and organizations so that everyone could have a more practical experience (internships, etc). Nevertheless, the level of education is high and this is a university of excellence. I enjoyed my time at the University of Minho, it was enriching!
