Erasmus community there was little but all of us we were very joined, and host university help you to know the rest of the Erasmus student through different activities.

Expenses
Main source of funding:
An ERASMUS grant
Other sources of funding:
Personal savings
Work opportunities:
I didn't explore any work options
Personal spending habits
I spent more money because the Belgian standart of living is higher than Spanish and I travelled a lot there and I phoned to Spain several times per month.
I spent less in nightlife because Spanish nightlife on weekends is more common than Belgian and I was there busier in other aspects like travelling or knowing new people.

Housing
Type of housing: Apartment/House
Arranged by: Host university
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
It was the only option that they offered me and I like this kind of housing because of the independence that it offers me

Personal comments
I liked the house because it was quite big and I was in contact with other students there, but the conditions of the house weren't very good.
