Brazil/Sao Paulo

São Paulo is a large, cosmopolitan city with a colorful and vibrant mix of many different cultures, religions and people.

Brazilians are described by students as incredibly friendly, open-minded and helpful people.

The temperate climate in São Paulo is quite mild all year round (average: 20°C).

As the seasons reverse in the Southern Hemisphere, the summer season from November to March is a particularly attractive alternative to destinations in the Northern Hemisphere.
