EXPENSES    
by Olve, Norwegian University of Science and Technology, Trondheim, Trondheim, Norway
Music and Musicology, Flemish/Norwegian scholarship exchange agreement
The accessibility of student needs
Second-hand text books
KEY:
Very easy.
Minimal effort.
Accessible but required effort.
Almost impossible.
Second-hand household items
Computers / Internet
Administrative
Money from home
Main source of funding:
Government assistance
Other sources of funding:
None
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits:
The general cost level was lower. And since I got a cheap "mini flat" near the Conservatory & near downtown, I could actually walk instead of taking public transportation a lot of the time.
Telephone: was the same price as at home.
Food, Travel, Nightlife, Overall, Housing: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
Get a flat near campus and/or downtown. It's not necessarily expensive, it's convenient, and you get a reasonable (but not excessive) amount of exercise through walking...

FINAL COMMENTS

- Check out the Belgian scholarship exchange programs in your own country. - Stay in a youth hostel or with friends when you first arrive, go for walks in areas you like & look for for-rent-signs in the windows. - Second-hand bookshops are abundant and mostly quite cheap. - The Film Museum!!!!!!! - If you have asthma or other respiratory problems, consider going somewhere else instead. The air in Brussels is NOT good for you...
