With applications for the first phase of the national higher education entrance exam running until 4 August, there are many factors that influence the choice of future university students in Portugal. And while in the past, the educational institution itself was the main may consideration, now the university's location and rental prices may take priority.
Private housing prices in Portugal have been rising in recent years, making access to higher education more difficult. According to the latest Student Accommodation report published earlier this month, quoted by Público, the average price per room is €415/month.
