It's quite caothic, but you have a lot of things to choice as studies. Be prepared to fight sometimes with the BIG BELGIAN BUREAUCRACY.

Final comments
For travelling, usually with bus is cheaper than train: EUROLINES is very good, but there are others companies as STARBUS, withe better prices, but less buses.
Don't miss all your students cards. Your ULB card is vailable to obtein discounts in cinema.
At Filmmusseum, there's a lot of films with very good prices (60/90 BEF).
Brussels is quite safe, but be careful if you are on quartiers as MIDI or SAINT GILLES.
Be open-minded, and be prepared to fight with the very heavy bureaucracy.

Had a great time in the much underated city of brussels. It is a very beautiful city despite all the rumours you hear. Weather in summer time is surprisingly nice, while winter was even more wet and colder than Ireland.
