Oiiiii brasileiros! My boyfriend lives in Brazil, I live in The Netherlands (we met when I was there with my family). As I’m nearly finished with school, I would like to study medicines in Brazil (I do not speak Brazilian Portuguese fluently yet). The best thing would be to study near my boyfriend, he is studying in Aracaju. What place near Aracaju is safe and nice to study for foreigners (within the Bahia area, which is a very wide range already actually)? And are Dutch people generally accepted in Brazil? (as everyone thinks Dutch people are racists…) Muito obrigado a todos e um feliz ano novo!

I understand you wish to be close to your bf, however you should know your graduation in Brazil won’t help you in your future carrear. Actually most brazilians move either to São Paulo or Rio de janeiro from the NE part of the country to be able to attend better colleges. Some of them – like me- move abroad to make a career. Each country abides by it’s own laws so you’d have difficulty in having your diploma accepted in Netherlands and would have to complement it later with some other courses. Also, the only language all professors teach here is portuguese. Most professors may even speak english, but classes are always in Portuguese and you’d have difficulty in attending classes in a language you don’t know.
So my advise is: Take a break and come to Brazil to get to know your boyfriend better, to be sure you aren’t wasting your life away for a summer relationship. You could spend the next months here in a course to learn Portuguese, and see if you adapt to the country, to the language and even to your boyfriend ( and his family). If you go thru this test and learn the language well, then you can consider living and studying here, and even making a life here. Please do not rush into decisions.
Hello girl,
look, the best place to study here is in the Public Universities.
Your boyfriend must know. I don’t know about Aracajú so much, so…
But girl, I’m sorry telling you this: to enter the colleges here, you really need to study. There’s so many kinds of curses that prepare you to.
You should ask him about.
Dutch! OMG, I would kill to know your country, your culture…
I mean, you are really valorized here.
Brazilian’s (most of) doesn’t know anything about History. (nothing about the World Wars, nazis, etc.)
We say you’re very welcome here.
=)
PS: you can always pay for some study. But I wouldn’t. Actually, I’m trying to study in public too. But I live in São Paulo, so…
Good lucky.
=)
I’m suspect to say but you should come to Bahia, the people here are very receptive with foreigners, is not pursuing those groups xenophobic aliens. Or so I say to you live in a state of Portuguese colonization, Pernambuco, Maranhão and Rio Grande do Sul .. Thanks and sorry for my english, lol …
I don’t Know ! =/
…. uahAUHiuahIUAHuiaHUIAHiuahIUAHuiaHAIUhaui !!!
you gotta be kiddin’ me !
– what the hell are you doin’ with your life ?!?!!?
… run away from south america, honey …
[brazillians (wich aren’t thieves and such) are, usually, pretty nice with foreigners … and most of us do not speak any other language …]
friendly advice … stay home …
Brazilians are very friendly with foreigners. Aracaju is as safe as Brazil can be, it is a beautiful city and it is a good place to study. I’ve never heard anything about Brazilians thinking that Dutch people are racist.
Just a piece of culture: the Northeastern region of Brazil, where Aracaju is located, had many Dutch settlements in the 17th Century. You can visit museums that show the marks they left behind, specially in the neighbor state of Pernambuco.
there is UFBA in bahia, (universidade federal da bahia) and there is medicine there, and if a federal college , but in aracajo doen’t have any good college, only in bahia, rio de janeiro and são paulo. Brazil is safety, the brazilian people likes everybody.
