“Très bonne école de gestion d'entreprise”

Belgium, Graduate
Business Studies, 2019
Overall
Les avantages majeurs sont la possibilité de faire plusieurs stages et échanges à l'étranger tout au long du cursus. Par ailleurs, le domaine d'apprentissage est très étendu ce qui garantit aux étudiants une approche globale de la gestion (finance, comptabilité, marketing, droit, etc.)

In my opinion:
I loved it but I'm not sure everybody would.
Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important
Personal recommendation
ICHEC is a small business school. Do not expect a University or a big party. People pay a lot of money to study there, most of them are really seroius and learn quite a lot.

Belgium is a nice country were you can travel a lot. I really enjoyed the trips to the sea, to Gent, Antwerpen and Bruges. After 2 days of sightseeing you know Bruxelles by heart, there are not so many things to see, Tip: museum of fine art and Museum od music instrumets

don't travel by taxi, they r too much expensive! buy a tram/bus/metro pass it's cheaper and easier! If u arrive in the airport u have a train directly to Brussels center. Brussels is great, cosmopolitan, I love it!

Expenses
Main source of funding:
Family
Other sources of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
housing is expensive compared to Portugal in general (not compared to Lisbon). When buying a phone card you should be attentive, because it is possible to pay just a little (or a lot...)

to phone home don't call from your belgian mobile. there are lots of phone houses (usually owned by turkish people) where you can phone to other countries for about 0,10€ (Europe).
