My Experience in Brussels, Belgium by Dario

Why did you choose to go to Brussels, Belgium?

Because I did not know enough about it.

How is the student lifestyle like in Brussels?

Decent enough, but worse than in most other places.

Would you recommend the city and the University of Brussels to other students?

The university is good, the city is below average and expensive. Do not make the same mistake I have made.

What is the food like?

If it were not more expensive than in London, one of the metropolitan capitals of the world, it might have been OK.

Was it difficult to find your accommodation in Brussels?

No, this is the one highlight of Brussels. (P. S. : Rent your own flat with friends. The Van Orley student residence is under-equipped, dirty and just overall bad. Get some friends there to enjoy its one advantage; the social life)

How much does it cost to live in Brussels?

Too much.

What good cultural sites are there to visit?

Anywhere outside Brussels.

Is there any other advice that you could give to students going to Brussels in the future?

Do not come please.
