The courses are not that difficult, if you just try to understand, not memorize what professors tell you.

Final comments

This is a very nice place to be, very quiet, but you still can get lots of fun. The international environment is great, so if you come, let the University take care of your own accomodation. Don't forget to task the beers, in special Hoegarden!

The dutch language resulted from the begining really dificult for me because it is a germanic language and I understand better the latin languages. This is the reason why I spoke and communicate most of the time in english, although I learned basic things in a lot of languages...including greek!. Is very nice to know similarities and differences of your own language in comparison with other languages.
