I love my experience in Ku Leuven and will recommend it at 100%.
The programme is busy but very interesting. The real added value to the teaching at KU Leuven is the excellence of the professors. They are professionals who are passionate about the subjects they teach and this is reflected in the way they teach. Therefore, it is rare to find a teacher who is not captivating!
The level of the university is quite high, so you should expect to do a lot of work.
However, the university and the city of Leuven make sure that students do not forget to relax and enjoy themselves and that this is also part of a student’s university adventure.
Also, you have the chance to meet different people from so many diversified cultural backgrounds every day.
Moreover, KU Leuven is a university that is very much focused on the well-being of the student. For example, during exam periods, they organise group YOGA sessions.
Finally, what I really appreciated is that every semester they organise meetings between professionals and students in order to prepare our educational insertion.
Finally, I did not appreciate the fact that finding a student job when you don’t speak Dutch is complicated.
