Personal comments
Go to "de lamme Goedzak" on Tuesdays to meet all the other exchange students and get drunk there. Thursdays the best place to go is "Polly Magoo". And all the other days: Just go to the city center and step into a bar - but expect techno-music and a very crowded environment!

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
It's expensive, but it's so nice if you just have a 2 minute walk every morning. And most of the internationals are living on campus, so it's easy to meet!

Personal comments
It's organized really good since you just have to fill out a form and erverything else is done for you. But you should expect to pay a lot more than at home. Some people are leaving really far away from university, so you should spent more money for housing.
