Personal assessment
Cost

Couldn't have asked for more.
Pretty good.
Could've been better, but didn't lessen the overall experience.
Disappointing.
Facilities
Location
Cleanliness
Space
Type of housing: a room in a house for trainees
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why? to have contact with other people, not just to meet them in the hall:)
Personal comments:
the school offered help in finding accomodation, and gave a few addresses, but it was a bit difficult to contact with those people, that's why I was searching on my own; I have a friend in brussels who gave me some links to good websites and but for his help it would be difficult for me to find anything

STUDENT LIFE

Personal social experience
Activities
KEY:
Amazing! Hardly had time to study.
Plenty to do when I had the time.
So-so.
Did not get involved.
Nightlife
Travel
Overall
Describe host city: Students equally interact with the local and student community
Activities, Nightlife: Takes place mostly outside the university/student environment
Travel: Takes place both within and outside of the university/student environment
Personal comments:
I enjoy visiting Latino and Irish pub/clubs. Places like Romanticus, Havana Club, O'Reillys, and Wild Geese could be a place to visit for the weekends. I'll say "Grande-Place" is another place one shouldn't miss during the summer. Moviegoers would sure have a great fun at Kinepolis but UGC-Debrouckere could prove to be a better alternative if one is planning for all-night fun for the fact that it's located at where I'll call the "Manhattan" of Brussels.

Personal comments:
In Brussels the most spoken languages are flemish and french. Becaus eof the fact that flemish is more or less the same as dutch, i faced no problems communicating. I tried to speek french and managed to improve my french as well. At the uni everybody speeks english so that was no problem at all.

Didn't happen.
Traveled
Improved language skills

Personal recommendation:
Because most exams are at the end of the semester you have a whole semester time for travelling and living. EHSAL is great, especially the international office (Dirk Van Waelderen)



FINAL COMMENTS

If you want to travel during your international student experience Brussels is great, because there are cheap flights to great destinations and with the THALYS you can reach Paris within 1,5 hours. There is a public transport card available for students (costs only 25€ for the whole year). Just ask the international office!
