I would like to come in the first term starting on March. Yes there are, but I can't give you their e-mail address. If you wish to contact them for reference, we could give your e-mail to some of them. Let me know. I am sorry, but unfortunately PUC-RIO doesn't provide scholarships or any financial aid for foreigners.
Cultural exchange is one of the objectives.
You will have classes with international students at the mandatory Portuguese for foreigners class and intermix with other Brazilian students at the regular classes. They just receive a frequency certificate. They offer the Portuguese for foreigners course for tourists and people who do not need the credits. It has a lower tuition then the regular courses. We have a big brand new gymnasium at our campus, and we also have an agreement with C.R. Flamengo where you could take some classes and practice the most different sports.
