Welcome

This blog was created as part of the Erasmus Mundus Crossways in Cultural Narratives Masters programme, which is the only one of the EU approved and funded Erasmus Mundus Masters programmes to specialise in traditional humanities with a modern languages background. The Crossways Consortium comprises 6 top-class European universities.

For further information, please check the programme's official website and the universities' websites on the Useful Links section on the left. If you wish to have a specific question answered, please click on Email here and submit your query.

Mundus students, here you will find regular posts regarding the universities of the consortium, tips, activities, events, pictures, etc. Apart from checking it regularly to keep yourself up to date, a good way to use the blog is through the search device. We already have a significant amount of information on some universities of the consortium, so if you want to find information on a specific city, type its name in the search field (top left). You will then see all posts related to that specific city (because each post title contains the city's name in it). You can also type "General" in order to find information concerning everybody.

Lisbon: Room available from August 2009

Dear Crossways students coming to Lisbon,

The room where I have stayed this semester will be available from August. If anyone is interested, please find the details below.

- room (approximately 6m2) in a 3-bedroom flat -- furniture: double bed, dresser, small desk and chair, bookshelf and side table;
- big kitchen;
- washing machine;
- big bathroom;
- wireless internet (good, fast connection);
- cable TV in the living room;
- in a renewed Art Deco (or so it looks to me :) building ;
- across the street from Anjos metro station;
- supermarkets nearby

Rent = 275€ per month, all expenses included. You're requested to pay two months at once in the first month as a sort of bond (caution), then you don't pay the last month.

To go to the university there are three options:

1) Walking 30-40 minutes;
2) Metro - Anjos (green line, across the street) until Campro Grande, where you get the yellow line to Campo Pequeno (university station). Total journey time: around 30 minutes;
3) Metro - Picoas (yellow line), 10-minute walk away. From Picoas it's just 2 stations to Campo Pequeno. Total journey time: 15-20 minutes;

The flatmates are a 36-year old Portuguese lady, who is very kind, easy-going and animated; and a 27-year-old Frenchman, who is a Biology PhD. They both speak English. The flat is calm, well-lit and very clean.

I've had a wonderful time there and definitely recommend it to anyone who is coming to Lisbon. Just let me know and I can put you in touch with them.

Warm regards,
Roberta
