Personal spending habits
At home I live with my parents which means I'm not directly responsible for costs associated with food, telephone and accommodation. Concerning travel, I benefited from being in Belgium and hence centrally placed in Europe, to travel Both within Belgium and outside it - to Germany and to the Czech Republic.

Personal comments
During the first semester I lived in a really big and nice apartment share with 3 other people, but this isn't common at all in Leuven. During my second semester I had to take a room from GLOBISS: if you can avoid it is better. REALLY SMALL ROOM AND REALLY EXPENSIVE.

If travel is a main objective, Belgium is a great place. It is very central to most major cities and countries. We were easily able to take 3 day weekend trips to parts of the UK, Germany, Holland, and France.
