“CEMS master at LSM highly reccomended”

Overall
If you are considering to attend a master in International Management, the best you can find is for sure the CEMS one. It is carried on by several among the most prestigiuos universities around the world, such as LSE, Cornell University, HEC Paris, the University of Sidney, Bocconi, University of St. Gallen and ESADE. In most of these universities there are very high fees and a huge competition to enter the CESM course. If you are a non-Belgian student (I think it's easier to access the course if you are an international student) and don't have a huge budget, I suggest you to try the application to the CEMS at Louvain School of Management. Then you can spend two semesters abroad in two different universities among the ones mentioned above. In Louvain-la-Neuve there are a lot high-quality sport facilities that you can access for just 50€ per year and free language courses. In addition, you can taste spectacular waffles and you are close enought to enjoy the night life in Bruxelles. Cons are the fact that sometimes the university lack in the organization and that in the university offices external to the CEMS program, personnel know few English and often answer you to the email just in French. In addition, te majority of corporate partners are from the Benelux macroregion, thus if you don't speak French or Duch, it is quite difficult to find an internship with them.

Final comments
Don't take more than you can carry yourself. Open a bank account in Louvain-la-Neuve. Carefully read your état des lieux is correct. If repairs need to be made in your room or kot, inform your agency and stay on them if they don't make the repairs quickly.
