Personal comments
I think that overall we you arrive, It would be so good to provide the notes to international students, because we you arrive and you do not know the language, is impossible to get notes, then would be fantastic to have the possibility of get these notes.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I worked during my study abroad experience
Personal spending habits
Because the food is more expensive, in relation with telephone I spent less because my friends of Spain and my family they telephoned me always. In accommodation more because in Spain I live with my family. In nightlife the same more or less. I travel i spent more because Belgium is so near of a lot of beautiful places that I wanted to visit and was my opportunity of do it. Overall the expenses are important, besides the Erasmus grand is not very high.

When I arrived, I didn't speak french, and I have been speaking english for 3 months as myt only one tool for speak and understand, in Belgium is fantastic because every body speak english. After, I finished my first course of french and knew a little bit more and learning every day a little bit when I finished I was able to have a fluent conversation and understand every thing.

The carré, a place full of small pub with a really good environment.
