I'm from Rio de Janeiro, but perplexed with the fact São Paulo was left off of the picture. Sampa, as we call it here, is the largest city in the southern hemisphere, a point of reference on finance as well as cultural activities. It's the 10th richest city in the world according to PricewaterhouseCoopers, it has many well reputed universities, a large variety of entertainment options and is considered one of the world’s capitals of gastronomy. Leaving São Paulo out of the list is just... bizarre. I agree, when I saw the title “The Best Places to Study in Brazil” I thought, “surely São Paulo will be on top – if not on the first place”.

Thanks for putting a pic of mine in your blog. But just a correction: the photo I took is from Florianópolis, a city located in the state of Santa Catarina, Brasil, not from Rio de Janeiro, as you mentioned. Hi!

Rio de Janeiro is in the Southeast region and Florianopolis and Balneario Camburiu are in Southern region. The others informations are quite right. Congratulations! If I was to study Portuguese in Brazil, I would think about other cities, since those described above have very strong accents and a lot of regional idioms, sometimes hard to understand even for us, Brazilians. You can consider going to Sao Paulo (Brazilian biggest city), Brasilia (the capital), Belo Horizonte (with a vibrant bohemian nightlife) or not-so-famous places, such as Sao Luis (a historical city, reputed as having the best spoken Portuguese). The first 3 cities don't have beaches, but you can always travel, and if there's something easy to find in Brazil is a beautiful nature landscape.

One of the aspects that will enrichen your time whereever you are in Brazil is to learn basic Portuguese, without it you will feel quite restricted. Luckily the university PUC (where you are quite likely to study actually) offer great 6 week intensive courses where you can get the basics. I´m a Swede that has been living in Rio since 2003, I have a website that provides information to independenet travellers, all is in English. Check it out by clicking <a HREF="http://www.gringo-rio.com/" rel="nofollow">here</A>. Rio de Janeiro is a great place to study, here you have beaches and good universities.
