Hey guys, I'm Florian and I'll be studying general management in Leuven come September. I am a bit mixed up nationally so I'll just say that I am from a Slovak family and have lived in Germany, Belgium and the USA. 

I have a question for you people as some of you might be better informed than me. I am not part of the Erasmus exchange, but find forums like these quite helpful! Do you know of any people who studied/ are studying in Leuven? I wonder if in general people just look for individual housing and kots, or if in Leuven people also tend to go for roommates and share housing? The ones I have encountered so far all told me that they live individually.  I have studied my bachelor in the USA so I am used to having roommmates around and not living by myself which in most cases is more fun anyways.
