International student accommodation
Accommodation in Belgium is readily available; however, if you wish to rent a private flat, it’s often necessary to sign a 1-year contract. Expect to pay between €150 and €400 per month, depending on whether you prefer university housing or private accommodation.
Home-stays are also popular in Belgium, and give students a chance to learn, first-hand, about Belgian culture, while possibly taking on a new language. Contact your university’s international student support services or international student department for further information on securing housing in Belgium.

Weather/Climate

Transport
The public transportation system throughout Belgium is excellent.
The most dense railway network in the EU includes SNCB, which operates frequent and affordable
trips to places as diverse as the Netherlands, Poland, Czech Republic, Portugal, and Denmark, making weekend getaways irresistible. Additionally, the Eurostar links Brussels with Paris and London, and Thalys runs a rapid service to Amsterdam and Paris.
Trams and buses operate in most Belgian cities and students receive discounted fare. The metro system in Brussels is exceptionally efficient
and the perfect way to get around town. Ghent even has a trolley ‘ the only trolley in Belgium. But the healthiest and most interesting modes of transportation in Belgium are your feet and a bicycle.
