Walking into the University I was shocked to see the number of cars parked outside. I thought Bridgewater State College was bad, this was so much worse! At the college students can basically park anywhere. Finally after a short walk to the college we were in. The first thing we did was grab lunch at their cafeteria. While there school was in session so we were eating around students that attended the college. James and I had eaten earlier so we decided to share a steak plate, also known as a prego no prato. The plate came with fries, rice, an egg, and soup and salad. We decided against the soup and salad, although it looked delish! When it came time to pay the cashier assured us that the really nice gentleman who was giving the tour was paying for all of our food, which was really generous of him. We ate the food and it was delicious! Of course I brought my ketchup bottle knowing there was a chance they would not offer it but to my surprise they supplied bottles. I think I might have used up a whole bottle but I figured that it was alright since no one else in Portugal really uses it. Once we were done eating, we went a conferenc
e room where one of the college professors gave us a presentation on Portugal and some information on the college. We were then brought to the room where they keep all of the wiring for the school network. Before we entered the room, the gentleman giving the tour told us some interesting statistics about the school. The statistics were on the printers, email, computers, and voicemail. Something I found interesting was that students can print from any computer on campus or at home and the print job gets sent to the queue at the school and you can print from any printer near you. So if you wanted to type out a paper at home, you can send it to the campus printer and print it before class. I think Bridgewater State College should take a look into this because that is really convenient. After that building we visited the library. Personally, I didn’t think that the library was that great. I think Bridgewater has a better library. Overall, visiting the college was a great experience. Hopefully some day in the future Bridgewater State College will be as advanced and will offer the same options.
