Final comments
Leuvn is an international city, the university is used to foreigners. I don't have any suggestions because it's perfect in this way, you are indipendent but you know that you can count on the host staff university's help.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: an indipendent room with a kitchen to share
Why?
It's the best union: an indipendent space and a shared one to meet people and to enjoy the time together.
