\"Bem vindos à Faculdade\" so and so, if addressing an audience where many people are present. In a homepage or book, where most likely a single individual is reading, use \"Bem vindo(a) à Faculdade\" so and so.

: um colegio nao tem nada a ver com college... Um "college" e uma facudade onde sao lecionadas aulas de nivel universitario e geralmente um establecimento de ensino superior a conferir o grau de Bachelor (licenciatura) ;-)

I agree with you - and as the original used the word COLLEGE, I offered the option of Faculdade ( = university as in in Magdalen College) or Colegio ( = high school, as in Eton College) Thanks for ur comment

: dá-lhe (singular), or dá-lhes (plural); I know your keyboard is probably not configured for Portuguese, but the accute accent over the "a" is part of the language.

Both forms are correct, as the sign could be directed to each student in his/her own right or to the group as a unit.
