Final comments
big thank you to the coordinator - he made things work!
dont go to the BISC - its a rip-off and not worth trying, in general concerning housing: talk to the landlords on the phone and try to negotiate the rent:eg you stay for 6 months but paya little higher rent and so not be bound to a years contract.
go out and travel around. belgium is not only brussels!
