Academic
Course recommendations
I likedclasses from Intercultural Communication, Sustainable Business, Import and Export Management, Mangerial Psychology and Trust and Teamwork. It was also a really good idea to organize the Dutch Course and Belgian Cultur and Economics Course at the beginning.

Final comments
Belgium is a very good country if somebody is going to travel a lot. It's small, so it's easy to go abroad and visit ex. Paris, London, Luxembourg, Amsterdam, etc.
If you want to travel around Belgium choose a train and GoPass. Travelling is very cheap with this ticket.

Personal comments
It was very easy to communicate in Antwerp, even with the people on the streets, because most of them speak English very well. The classes at the University were in English, so also no problems. Besides, there was a three-week Dutch Course at the beggining so we were able to learn the basics of the local language also.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Independently - I had no other choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
For sure more space and you can find an appartment with some other students (so the price could be lower that way)

Personal comments
This University has no campus, so it's necessary to look for some accomodation on your own.
