What international students say about studying in Belgium:
Belgium in general is a great place to spend one’s semester or year abroad. Belgian people are very interested in different languages, cultures and countries and are exceptionally willing to help in any case. Also Belgium is small enough to be deeply discovered, even only in a short period abroad.
