It is nowadays more common to rent a flat and share it with other students. This is usually more comfortable, since it allows the students more freedom and flexibility, especially in terms of timetables.
In response to the students’ requests, CESPU develops complementary efforts to provide contacts for accommodation in the private sector, in the cities of Porto, Gandra and V. N. Famalicão. CESPU sends contacts of apartments, houses and rooms to the students who request it. Through this database, students may establish direct contacts with the various accommodation offers and therefore select the opportunities that suit them most.
A possible alternative is that you stay for a few days at a youth hostel or at a hotel and find suitable accommodation after your arrival. It's quite common to find flats for rent all over the city, and the prices vary according to the location or the conditions being offered. In Porto the Youth Hostel is located in Rua Paulo da Gama, 551 – 4169-006. Reservations can be made by phone (+351 22 617 72 57) or e-mail (porto@movijovem.pt).
For teachers and staff we recommend s hotels or hostels in Porto and not in the cities where CESPU Academic Campus are located, so that they can visit Porto city during their staying.
