São Paulo Study Abroad-Sao Paulo ou Rio de Janeiro
Posted: Fri July 3, 2009 05:12 AM UTC
Like the title says, I'm planning a semester abroad before I graduate. My options are either Fundacao Armando Alvares Penteado in Sao Paulo (FAAP) or Pontificia Universidade Catolica do Rio de Janeiro (PUC-rio).

I was hoping someone might have some opinions about the social life at either of these institutions or the general area that either is situated in (FAAP is dead center in the middle of Sao paulo and PUC-rio is in Gavea.

Anyon?
Alguem?

obrigado

Hello, I can tell about FAAP location, very nice and rich neighborhood in Higienópolis. It´s in central area, near to these places:

Shopping Higienópolis (http://www.patiohigienopolis.com.br/)
Mackenzie University (http://www.mackenzie.br/)
Pacaembu Stadium and Soccer Museum (http://www.museudofutebol.org.br/)
Besides, it is pretty close to Av. Paulista.

FAAP has a beautiful building and they are very engaged in arts and culture. I visited some interesting exhibitions there.

Good Luck!

I would recommend you FAAP.
São Paulo is a better place to study, but that depends on your major too.
if you have some more questions you can send it to ligiamast@yahoo.com.br
I studied in USP, but I am glad to help you, maybe you can tell me somethings about american universities.
Cheers
