"I love Lisbon! iX allowed me to become familiar with this unique, growing city. Lisbon is still very local and I truly felt like I got to know the culture and history of this city. Also, it is a reasonable place to study with inexpensive food, walkability, beautiful beaches, and many people speak English."
