The culture, the way of life, the industry, so that I had not spent time to adjust to local situations. For instance, I did not even know the meaning of a "Dutch Treat" when I went there!

Kepp up your vision and mission for the students. I really love to go back, perhaps, as a guest lecturer, or an alumnus who had terrific experience at Leuven!

Adjust quickly to the quality of life. Again, let me sy, THINK BELGIAN! Have more local friends as you can. They can help you during your stay at KUL. Do not hesitate to expose your innocence with the culture. They love it if you know their culture.

“My experience as a foreign student in Belgium”

Overall
I joined Ku Leuven at the beginning of this year, being a new person in a foreign land wasn't easy at first but with time i learned to adjust. Studies have been interesting so far, even with the current pandemic, our professors, technical services and subordinate staff have done their best with the life of a student in mind and so far they have delivered the very best in terms of on-line studies, and even with precautions and measures concerning covid-19, we are normally up-to-date, the school career services are also up to task with assistance in student jobs, job fairs and I couldn't be more grateful, its been a great experience that has taken me personally to a whole different level

No, the university provided all the information I needed before leaving. The rest you only need to know when you arrive there. Don't plan too much...

Rent a second-hand bycicle in Leuven. To travel in Belgium by train, buy the go-pass. To go abroad, travel in eurolines (bus) or in ryanair.
