Personal comments
The nightlife is pretty good and diverse in the city center. You can go dancing or spending your time in a nice cafe with life music...
The jazz scene is quite extense and the cultural opportunities are diverse and often very interesting.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: No changes!
Why?
I would not change my actual location because the place where I live it's really perfect. With 9 other students from differents countries, with a good living together, in a pretty house in a very nice neighborhood and really near of the university. Really! I couldn't have asked for more!!!

Personal comments
The experience of doing an Erasmus exchange is being really positive. Brussels is a good place for doing it and, in addition, the Free University of Brussels is a quite good host university. It's true that sometimes it seems that the erasmus students can suppose a hindrance for some teachers, but in general, the environment is too cozy and trying a system different from the own one, is always a very productive experience. Sure!

Learning french was one of the most important aspects in my choice of coming in Brussels. I can say that I'm really satisfied about that. My level when I arrived was not specially good and now I'm capable of talking about anything. I'm really happy with my evolution.
