Personal comments

Since the instruction was in English, I had no difficulties at all. Due to my house mates and the Dutch class, which I attended, I could cope pretty well in everyday situations and I could follow most of the times. Since everyone in Antwerp speaks several languages: English, French, German, etc, I never had a problem.

Personal comments

The university does not offer any accomodation, though they are very helpful to find something. Due to the high number of students, it is not such a big problem.
