In Brussels the most spoken languages are flemish and french. Becaus eof the fact that flemish is more or less the same as dutch, i faced no problems communicating. I tried to speek french and managed to improve my french as well. At the uni everybody speeks english so that was no problem at all.

mmmmm Boys baudoir is very nice ;). mostly our typical night was delirium at first (lekkere biertjes ;) and then Celtica...which mostly many girls hated for the people insede :(... but who knows why, even if it was hated by most people, almost every saturady or friday was finishing there... But my favourite place is a bar next to the the grote markt... but I don't remember the name...we call it the " couch place" because it's full of couches distributed in three strange floors... and then other places such as corbeau (op de tafel!!!) the box and beautiful bresialian bars... with bresilian (one really nice but it's mine ;) guys avalaible to teach you how to dance bossa nova or samba... ;)!!!!!!!!!! many other places are nice but forgot the names!!!!!! the only place i didn't like at all was "you" discoteque: difficult to enter, and for what? once you are in, it's crowded of 14/15 and half max years old people, commercial music and not special drinks :-\... i went a saturday night in the 2nd semester and it was also the last one!!!

Try to integrate more erasmus students to home activities, and not only create events specially for them.

I improved a lot my English even if most lecturers were not native English speakers (except one). As other students are in your same situation you don't feel unesay when you speak English. Even when you habe a talk with dutch students (who are very good in English) they make you at easy.
