“Communication”

Belgium, Graduate
Communication Studies, 2015
Overall
I loved studding here. All the teachers are well prepared.. some more than others. I was also working while studding if you do that, finishing the master's in 1 year is not possible.
My dissertation professors were very helpful and accommodation to my schedule and I got to finish my thesis exactly in the field i wanted
The cons would be that the campus is not very big and we could have some more activities for international students.

“High Student Involvement in Program Decision”
Maria-Lucia R
Belgium, Undergraduate
Sociology, 2021
Overall
The University, especially in the interdisciplinary program I am following, is more than willing to take into account the students' thoughts on courses, and adjust accordingly.
The program itself is carefully structured, and enables students to test their abilities, both in research and real-life competences e.g. teamwork and inter-cultural collaboration.

“Confused as I couldn't finish my degree”
Ele
Romania, Graduate

Overall
Unfortunately had to gave up on studies as teacher's from the master's degree have very high expectations from the beginning. The environment is not for everyone. People are...cold. The city is nice but from time to time seems empty.
