Personal comments
Don't spend your money in the begining of the master!! Many students get all excited about the fact of meeting new ppl from all over the world and that stuff, and go out everyday (lunch, coffees, etc). Before you realize you've spent up to twice you thought on spending everymonth! You can save a lot of money in food by shopping in supermarkets like Lidl, Aldy or Colruyt and then cooking home. Organizing parties at the student residence is also a good alternative to going out...

If you're really interested in European Union Law, Leuven is the place to be! And if you're more interested in having fun and make friends, Leuven is also the place to be!!!

Final comments
When it comes to travelling, ask for a "Go-pass" at any railway station: it's the cheapest way to travel inside Belgium. If you want to take part in organised travels outside Belgium, no doubt you shoul become a member of Pangaea.

No, the university provided all the information I needed before leaving. The rest you only need to know when you arrive there. Don't plan too much...

Rent a second-hand bycicle in Leuven. To travel in Belgium by train, buy the go-pass. To go abroad, travel in eurolines (bus) or in ryanair.

everyone spoke english, but not at ease. I could easily comunicate, but not improve my english. I tried to learn flemmish, but had to quit the classes because of my final project. I understand a little but speak almost nothing of flemmish/dutch.
