It's in the center of Brussels near everything. Nice location. In the end it was great. Every time I go to Brussels I stay there!

STUDENT LIFE

Business Studies, Erasmus
Personal social experience
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Travel: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment Activities, Nightlife: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment Personal comments:
The center (downtown) is probably the smartest and cheapest decision. There are lots of bars there (free entrance). Celtica (an irish pub) is probably the most popular (for foreigners) and the most international. Mapa-mundi is probably the best one if you just want to sit in a nice bar and chat with your friends. For real discos, you can find some nice ones at Madou. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: French
Was learning French a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my French How much did you improve your French?
My level before: Basic phrases My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) Personal comments:
my language experience in the begining was little bit hard, because I tried to talk, sometimes in english (I'm fluent) but they don't speak english a lot! It was a big problem, because I didn't have the a lot of basis in french. But afterwards we (erasmus students) start to have french classes in the night and I start to speak a little more french and in the end i was almost fluent! Now I am! Great...

The accessibility of student needs
Main source of funding:
Family Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options Personal spending habits:
housing is expensive compared to Portugal in general (not compared to Lisbon). When buying a phone card you should be attentive, because it is possible to pay just a little (or a lot...) Food, Housing: was more expensive than at home. Overall: was the same price as at home. Travel, Nightlife, Telephone: was less expensive than at home.
Personal comments:
to phone home don't call from your belgian mobile. there are lots of phone houses (usually owned by turkish people) where you can phone to other countries for about 0,10€ (Europe). This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
no In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
ICHEC is a small business school. Do not expect a University or a big party. People pay a lot of money to study there, most of them are really seroius and learn quite a lot. FINAL COMMENTS
Belgium is a nice country were you can travel a lot. I really enjoyed the trips to the sea, to Gent, Antwerpen and Bruges. After 2 days of sightseeing you know Bruxelles by heart, there are not so many things to see, Tip: museum of fine art and Museum od music instrumets This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself
