Transport: means of transport are varied with an increasing use of the bicycle; the
train is relatively cheap and connects the Belgian cities but there are considerable
differences in speed depending on the train, so it is best to check the journey time
beforehand. In Brussels, the Mobib monthly card costs 49€.

Accommodation: rental offers are well developed and diverse: furnished or
unfurnished apartments, flat-sharing or cheap student rooms (Kot). Allow
approximately 275€ on a campus and around 300€ in the city. Youth Hostels can
be used on arrival.
General Information: the Inforjeunes centres in Belgium provide help and useful
advice for daily life (search for housing, jobs, health, etc)
