And it can be a lot of fun if you do it with somebody that also doesn\u2019t know anything about it. During the summer or winter you always have a lot of possibilities to make plans with your new friends: go to walk through the entire city, go to museums, discover the history of the country where you\u2019re studying, etc.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Our suggestion?

At <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">U.hub Xior Portugal<\/span> residences you pay your rent and you get a lot: a room with a private bathroom, share the kitchen with other students or choose a room with your own, watch Netflix for free, exercise at the residence\u2019s gym, and pay nothing else for this features!
