Type of housing:
student room on free market

Arranged by:
Independently - I had no other choice

If returning, I would choose:
better room
Why? If you arrive earlier, you'll fing nicer and cheaper rooms

Describe host city:
Students equally interact with the local and student community

Travel, Activities, Nightlife take/s place both within and outside of the university/student environment

Course recommendations:
If you come, you can choose between courses of the 4th and 5th year. In the 5th year, there is no design project in the 2nd semester! You may do the 4th year design project with stéphane Beel. If you like urban design, go to the 4th year right away. If you like detailling, go to the 5th year in the 2nd semester. Oral exams can mostly be also made in English. The lessons are normally in Dutch, so a tiny bit of Dutch may help. Olmost everyone speaks English and French fluently which is extremely helpful. Never be afraid to ask since courses may be changed quickly by the staff.

The language of instruction was:
Dutch

My proficiency in the language of instruction:

Main source of funding:

Work opportunities
I didn't explore any work options.

Personal spending habits:
Of course, you want to travel. Nobody has a phone, but everybody a mobile phone (gsm) - so it is a little more expensive. But it seems affordable altogether.

I wish I had known ...
The homepage of my department is not in English, yet. So it was hard to figure out what options I could have.

In my opinion:
Most people loved it.
