As an international student studying abroad, finding accommodation is a challenging yet crucial aspect of starting your study career. It is important that you feel comfortable in your new accommodation, because this will be your new 'home' for some time after all.
Perhaps the most important tip to keep in mind: start your search for accommodation on time! Make time to look for a room (ideally before arriving in Belgium for the academic year), go and see different rooms and compare them. If you are not able to come to your new student city before the start of the academic year to look for student accommodation and you want to rent a room from abroad, watch out for fraud and never transfer money before having a copy of the signed rental contract.
Odisee does not have its own student accommodation, but our housing service ([email protected]) will gladly assist you with information and advice for your search. They are there to answer your questions, for example about how much it can cost and where to look.
