Personal comments
Community housing in Belgium is very different from the one in Sweden : shared rooms are not that clean (rapid cleaning is done once a week by a private firm), dish washing is not done systematicaly... Still, i really enjoyed it because people are nice and you can benefit from the real student life in this particular city : amazing!

Students have to arrange their accomodation themselves immediately after the arrival, so it's helpful to get some information in advance. but then there is no problem to find a suitable accommodation.

The campus houses in UCL are very full of tradition which is nice for the relationships among the host students. However it could be sometimes very noisy and disturbing places.
