I wish I had known...
Not really, I knew people who were at the EHSAL before me, so I was really well informed about EHSAL and Brussels.

Final comments
It was a really good time here in Brussels, you have the chance to meet people form different countries and get to know there culture. For the travelling, since Belgium is not that big and close to France and Netherlands you can easily go to Paris or Amsterdam within 1 - 2 hours of travelling.

Personal comments
The housing was ok, it was good because a lot of students lived there and therefore you have a lot of social contacts. But it was too expensive compared with the comfort they offered.

Close to the casino there's the the you-club, which is really good and every thursday there is an erasmus party, which means that you don't have to pay for the entrance.
