Hi everyone! My name is Matthew and I'm an undergraduate student at Tulane University in New Orleans graduating this May. I'm really interested in getting my masters in environmental science or a related field, but want to avoid the cost associated with most American universities. Since I already know Portuguese (mostly), and have always wanted to go to Europe, my search led me to Portugal!
Some of the basic questions I have are about student life, cost of living, average tuition costs, typical experience for a young American living in Porto--that kind of stuff.
As someone who's never even been to Europe, and doesn't know the first thing about the process of applying for a program in Porto, I wanted to extend the hand to you guys and see if anyone in this community could give me some pointers, fill me in on the basics, etc. Any and all help is greatly appreciated!
