Prices in Poland are comprable to those in Brazil. But for many exchange students Brazil was as cheap as water. Of course you`ll spend more on nightlife and travel as you`ll do it more often than at home. But the prices are ok.

Personal comments
Computer labs at the university are great so you don`t have to take your notebook with you cause there`s no problem with Internet and computers at FGV.
You can withdraw money form several ATM machines - I did it with Bradesco (ATM at the university at 4th floor), Banco do Brasil, Citibank, Bank of Boston (all banks you can find at Avenida Paulista - 2 min walk from FGV)

Unitary life costs are very lower than home. Bus tarifs, disco, drinks, cinema, restaurants, food (meat), hostels are very chep, but there are a lot of oportunities to spend. So overall the accounts are balanced.

Basic life in Brazil is much cheaper than in any european country due to a weakness of the Real. The nightlife and traveling is also much cheaper than in Europe, but you will have so many oppertunities and you will love it so much that you spend much more for this!

Brazilian food is so good, that you will gain a lot of weight. By avoiding this you can save a lot of money! (No Churrascarias).
