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.

The best night spots were De Prof and the Swa!! There were so many good places to eat. The trianon, Oliver's sandwich shop, and the Italian place near the train station.
