How much does it cost to live in Antwerp?

It is not that cheap because living in a city is more expensive than living on the countryside. Especially drinks and entrance tickets to a party can be expensive.

Is it difficult to find accommodation in Antwerp? Is there any advice you can give?

I don't think that it is difficult because around the buildings of the university you can see a lot of buildings to rent.

What is the food like? What are your favourite dishes?

French fries are the best! Of course there is also the best chocolate in the world, that you can be found here in Belgium.
