It was difficult at first but after spending a few weeks in Antwerp, everything became much easier. Most people at least know english there so it really is not hard to communicate with others.

Personal comments
I visited the university dorms many times and it was always really fun to meet people from so many different countries. The campus dorms were nice and I could have very easily lived happily in them. My apartment that I found on my own was in a great location and very near the campus. I loved living there and would definatly do it all over again.
