Pontificia Universidade Catolica (PUC-RIO)

Simply... GO!

I ended up paying about %15 more for tuition towards the end of my stay due to changes in the exchange rate between the American Dollar and Brazilian Real. Because of the fact that my university did not have a program with the university that I chose in Brazil, I was paying tuition directly to the Brazilian university, month by month. I would recommend trying to study abroad through a university in your home country in which you continue to pay your regular, home university's tuition in order to avoid exhange rate fluctuations.

I experienced a wonderful time in Rio with the family I lived. The first day I was in the city they already have done all the arregments with the family and I already haved a clean and nice room.

Be certain to open lines of communication with the CCII office at PUC well before your intended period of study begins. This will only work in you favor, as they are eager to assist all foreign students in any way they can.

I loved the Erasmus Experience. I am sure that if I could do another one, i will go again because it is an experece that everybody must live and take advantage from it!
