Belgium: Brussels European Union - Student Life

Belgium glowing within.

Housing and Meals

Students will particapte in a homestay program for housing in Brussels. Living with a Belgian family allows the students the opportunity to experience life and customes of the people of Belgium. Students will take all breakfasts with the homestay, and three dinners each week. An additional stipend will be provided in installments throughout the semester, to help offset the cost of meals not provided by the homestays. The program's Housing Coordinator arranges accommodations, matching preference, needs, and language abilities with those of a host family. You might even try to learn some French or Flemish from your family or improve your skills in those languages.

* The "Arrival" date is the day on which you need to arrive at your site, NOT the date you leave the U.S. The program starts on the "Arrival" date and this is the day on which program-sponsored housing begins. If you arrive before this date, you are responsible for your own housing. Do not expect to move into program-sponsored housing early.

** The "Departure" date is the official end of the program. All program-related activities will end the night prior to this date (in some cases you may have a farewell dinner, etc.) On the "Departure" day you must leave your housing. Do not expect to stay in program-sponsored housing after the "Departure" date.

Program Dates are subject to change.
