Overall
I accomplished my masters degree with Erasmus Mundus program in Europe. I graduated from Brussels, LUCA school of arts. 

The program was very challenging on all levels, I had to study, exchange experiences and cooperate with people coming from all around the world. My teachers were coming from 3 universities in 3 countries, which was very enriching.

Careers
it was very challenging after graduation, because now we had to face the real market and life, and art market is very challenging now adays. 

I could find an internship. but it wasn't enough to build some experience. My university didn't give advices where to start from and how can we find jobs and what jobs could be the best to start by in purpose of building experience and better future career.

Personal comments
The Flemish(Dutch)/Vallonian(French) language and culture divide is very noticeable. In my experience, knowing French (which I didn't) is quite important in Brussels. Most of the Flemish (at least the younger ones) seem to speak English quite fluently, though. The Early Music courses in the Conservatory were in Dutch - in principle. But in practice, English seemed to be the default language in this highly international course.

Final comments
- Check out the Belgian scholarship exchange programs in your own country. - Stay in a youth hostel or with friends when you first arrive, go for walks in areas you like & look for for-rent-signs in the windows. - Second-hand bookshops are abundant and mostly quite cheap. - The Film Museum!!!!!!! - If you have asthma or other respiratory problems, consider going somewhere else instead. The air in Brussels is NOT good for you...

Travel a lot: you´re next to a lot of different countries. If you know several languages, it would be easier for you to find a job, Brussels is a very cosmopolitan city!

They have an office where you can get address lists to rooms/flats for rent. But my experience is that walking around & checking out the "to let" signs works better. Reasonably good rent/quality ratio.

Sometimes I had communication difficulties due to the fact that Belgium is a bilingual country (French&Dutch). Most of the local French speaking people don`t even speak English, but still they are sociable and ready to help.
