I don’t live in Portugal and I will not be able to make the admission interview before my arrival.
In that case the interview will be done upon resident’s arrival. It will be useful to explain how is life in the Residence and to verify if the resident’s profile matches the one from the Residence.
I am in the waiting list. Do I have any chances of getting a room in the Residence?
Whenever someone quits his/her room, candidates in the waiting list will be contacted by order. Sometimes there are vacant rooms in the beginning of the school year, others in the middle.
I have been told that there are available rooms and I showed interest. Is this enough to have a room reservation?
The room reservation will only be effective when the candidate pays an amount equivalent to one month’s rent. During the year the amount will be considered as the deposit.
