Personal comments
There is a lot that kind of places. on monday most of students go to Pinuts, on Wednesday Porter House. during all week if you want have party you must just go on Overportstraat :) When the weather is nice and spring is coming all of students go on Graslei :)Ooo Gent is a city which you can discovere each day sth new:)I think everyone can find own places, pubs, cafe/chocotale places. It is amazing city and i miss everything in Gent.That city stole my heart.

Housing
Type of housing: On campus
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: On campus
Why?
I would chose the same because room at dormitory is the cheapest solution and there you can always meet there other students.

Personal comments
The standard of dormitories is not too high. Adventages of that kind of accomodation is good price, single room. Disadventages for sure only one fridge in the kitchen and rooms without toilet and shower ( but you can used to).
