Visit it before if you can or try to arrive 1 or 2 weeks before the courses start to get a room, check with administration, university, language courses, etc.

During my experience abroad, I ... (1) Never – (4) A lot
The University of Ghent is a beautiful school to study at. The first days are a bit difficult because of the transition from secondary school but the teachers, employees, and students know how to make a student feel at home. The study level is very challenging and makes you well-prepared for the big world. What I like the most, is the environment which encourages diversity and durability. Ghent is a very diverse city to begin with and is called the "bike city" because of the low emission zone in the center, where no cars are allowed to drive. All in all, it's a modern, diverse and promising university where I have enjoyed my stay.

Personal recommendation
Good environment, of teachers and colleagues alike. The courses are overall fairly demanding, and the atmosphere is trully international, especially with people from other european countries.
