Overall
At USP I can review two courses: Languages and Architecture. The Language courses has many different languages - I chose English and Portuguese - and is the most complete in my country. I got also a license to teach and I could get in touch with teachers in another department: Education. And I attended also the Architecture and Urban Planning department afterwards, which has a complete syllabus including design.
I could have many specialists in these three areas, professors that were well-known in Brazil. 
About the students, one can find there people from different places from Brazil and sometimes from abroad, and there is an pleasant atmosphere of study among them.
The main campus, where I studied, is located in the city of São Paulo. It´s like a huge park, with plenty of squares and nice places to rest. It has some facilities like housing for those in need, budget restaurants, health care and dental care free services, a complete sports center (where Ayrton Senna used to train!), and some bus lines. 
It´s very common that big companies, including foreign ones, come to invite students to work with them. Microsoft, for instance, usually pins its ads hiring students. Therefore, it´s not difficult to find a job being a graduate of USP.

A great university, one of the best in South America, and the best in Brasil. Comparable to an american university but underrated by most foreigners.

Make sure you try to get involved with as many events and experiences you can..don't worry if it seems different or not your typical cup of tea. Just dive right into it and see what happens.
