Student review [#21219] for International Relations
at Universidade do Minho

The residences at the University of Minho are simply bad. Located in social neighbourhoods, prone to situations of violence and robberies. As for the residence itself, the rooms are poorly insulated and easily mouldy. It has a kitchen per floor, with a fridge too small for everyone, there is no way to cook, it only has 2 microwaves. This area also has a balcony where you can put clothes to dry, but too small for everyone.
It has a laundry, gym and bar/cafe. The laundry room has 3 coin-operated washing machines and dryers. Of these 3, most of the time 2 do not work, leaving only one washing machine for all residents, and sometimes it is impossible to wash clothes.
There is also a canteen that works in the same way as the university canteen, with the only problem that on weekends the residence canteen is not open, but the university canteen is open, which makes no sense since the residence is nowhere near the university and there is no restaurant nearby.
This was the biggest problem I saw at the University of Minho, a problem that the university doesn’t pay attention to.
