Important factors in my choice
(1) Unimportant – (4) Very important

Sincerely speaking,it is a bit diffcult for me to answer those questions because,in my country economy really affects the standard of living and Belgium`s economy is not the same compares to ours.The currency power is another issue.At home this affect the purchasing power of the people but here (in belgium)i think cost of living is bearable.
