VUB experience from a business student

I really like the lush and green atomosphere surrounding the campus on Etterbeek. There is generally always a vivid and positive vibe on the campus. From all the campuses I have been, this one has the most greenery. A small downside however is that some aula's look a bit dated from the inside, yet this isn't much of an issue when it comes to my learning experiences.

Loving it here!

Being here has been such a wild ride. Moving to a new country every semester and learning local languages has been both fun and challenging, but it's kinda exhausting too. Still, that hustle gives me an adrenaline rush I low-key love! The best part has been seeing our business ideas come to life and when people genuinely appreciate and engage with something we’ve built, it makes all the hard work worth it.
