What is the student lifestyle like in Brugge?

Brugge is not a student city. If you really like student parties, Gent is better. Gent is only 20 minutes from Bruges so it's ideal.

Brugge is smaller and we have a lot of cozy bars.

How much does it cost to live in Brugge?

The touristic parts of Bruges are very expensive but if you meet up with locals, they can definitely show you some cheap places. Student rooms are also not that expensive.

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

There are some cheap studentrooms available every year in the center. But even outside the center, you have places, and they will probably be cheaper. Brugge is small so even outside the center is nearby.

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

Brugge has the best chocolate and fries in the world I think. Also the best beer. If you come to Brugge you should definately try some fresh mad fries with mayonaise from 'het frietkot'. Also the mussels are very good.
