Hogeschool-Universiteit Brussel (EHSAL)

Brussels is greately situated in the middle of everywhere, so you can easily make lots of travels for a rather good price.

Don't take Tallys its too expensive use normal train lines which goes almost eveywhere. Take an abonement of travel within the city and utilize from the discounts of traveling and museums and concerts and parties. Hang out with locals to lea much more and travel as with a guide. Join ESN:))

Concerning the travel inside the country there is a lot of possibities to find some promotions for students. It is usefull to take part in so called crash course of Dutch language - it is good time to get to know a city. Especially good option is to buy a cheap ticket for city communication but all info regarding this will be given by a coordinator. I have a problem when I got sick to make an appointment with a doctor a the best solution was to go to the emergency in the hospital, I went there on Saturday and there were no queue and I did not have to pay but I am not sure if it is a rule here. The cheapest shops are Lidl and Aldi, but there are also some nice promotions in more expensive stores.

It is very easy to reach Brussels by plane. I would recommend getting in touch with the international coordinator, who can help both with academic and non-academic advice

Belgium weather seems very unpredictable most of time. Keep Boy Scout motto: "Be Prepared" as your watchword of the day.

Though, EHSAL (Economische Hogeschool Sint-Aloysius) didn't have a student hostel however, there is a department responsible for accomodation-related issues on behalf of foreign students.
