Question
Hey Mark,
My name is Laury and I am a student. I am 23 years old and this August I am going to Porto Alegre. I am going for 10 weeks. I am all abroad about the safety issues.Is it tru that i can leave with 600 brl for month, living on a student hostel or in UFRGS?

Answer
Hello Laury,

600 brl is not a lot of money, but probably enough if you can share a house with several other students and eat at UFRGS cafeteria.

CraigsList is a good place to looking for roommates and get more information about Porto Alegre: http://portoalegre.en.craigslist.org/

Have fun in Brazil!
