Why? social integration is easy and fast
Personal comments:
Student homes are very noisy, studying and sleeping is not always easy,but the social life is good. Not all students get a place in a university home, waiting lists are long This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Language difficulties
Language of instruction: English
Local language was: Different than language of instruction.
Was learning English a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my English Was learning the local language a key decision factor?
Yes, I wanted to improve my knowledge How much did you improve your English?
My level before: At ease in most situations My level after: No problems in any areas (including slang) How much did you improve your local language?
My level before: Did not speak it My level after: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.) Personal comments:
Although I do not speak local language I didn't find any difficulties to communicate as my language of instruction is at the high level and the community in Belgium is well educated, therefore language was never a problem. Nevertheless, I decided to continue studying Dutch as I think it could be useful in my future life. This review is the opinion of an iAgora member, and not of iAgora itself

Important to choosing this university...
I wish I had known...
The only thing I regret is that I didnt study local language before. That would help me to find a job as without that ability it was almost impossible to find any. In my opinion:
Everybody loved it, you will too!
During my experience abroad, I ...
Personal recommendation:
I would never expect that studying at that university would be one of the best experience in my life. That includes among others education level, social life and travel opportunities. FINAL COMMENTS
What I find th emost important, students should try to learn Dutch before coming here. Furthermore, one has to be prepared to spend more money than he or she was used to before - good idea is to earn it before, as I did for example during summer holidays. A good opportunity to travel in Belgium is to buy Go Pass - 10 rides for only 45 euro. A city itself looks as if it was created for students-many students restaurants, libraries, sports facilities, cinemas, bars etc. There is simply no time to be bored.
