Final comments
It is very cheap to make trips from Belgium to other countries(Ryan Air) and the ESN also organizs trips which are cheap and a< lot of fun!
I would recommand to live in a student house because its much more fun than in appartment and you get to know other people easier. Most important advice: Just enjoy it and you will love it!

Course recommendations
Most people had problems regarding which particular courses to take whilst here i.e. making sure they were going to be acceptable to their home uni's. However, I didn't see anyone not find suitable courses.

Don't crowd yourself with lots of 'harder' subjects if you don't have to - you're in Antwerp to enjoy yourself!

Languages
Language of instruction: English
Was learning English a key decision factor?
No, it wasn't.
How much did you improve your English?
My level before: Everyday knowledge (shopping, directions, etc.)
My level after: At ease in most situations
Language difficulties
Administrative / Institutional
Personal comments
It was interesting to learn the local language and the course was not very hard because it is very similar to German. But I wouldn't make the course if I had to decide again, because most of the people can speak English and Flemish isn't necessary.

Housing
Type of housing: A room exchange
Arranged by: Independently - My choice
If returning, I would choose: Apartment/House
Why?
because is not too crowded as it is on a campus but it's not as lonely as in a studio. You live with other people that you can know better because they're not too many.

Personal comments
the thing about accomodation in antwerp is that, as it has a lot of students coming from different parts of Belgium to study there, there are a lot of different choices to where you could live. the university really helps you find a house, with their diferent campus, but if you don't whant to stay there you have thousands of other choices.
