Study in Brussels: Your Choices for Rooms for Rent

If you are going to study outside your place of residence, in Brussels, then you have to take into account the considerable expenditure on accommodation. The larger the city, the more you will pay for the apartment. Unfortunately, it will be the hardest to find them there, too, so don’t postpone searching for the last weeks of your vacation.

The dormitory is the cheapestbut it is the hardest to find a room in it, because there are many more willing than places. In addition, the income criterion per student family member is used, so not everyone will be able to live in it at all (if the income is too high). In such a situation, renting a room in a student flat remains, and for the wealthy renting an independent apartment for rent. How much it costs? It differs.

Student residence

The cost of accommodation in a dormitory in a dormitory is from 250 to 600 PLNthe decisive factor for the price is the type of room (several-person cheaper, more expensive double), location and standard (newer and higher-standard dormitories are much more expensive than those not renovated long ago). The price of a dormitory usually includes internet and access to laundry, sometimes also television.

For a single room you have to pay from approx. 700 to 1000 PLNhowever, firstly not every dormitory offers this type of room, and secondly, priority is given to students from the highest years.

Criteria for awarding places in a dorm

Due to the fact that places in dormitories are not enough for everyone, universities apply priority criteria, which most often include: a difficult financial situation in the student’s family, a large distance of residence from the university, as well as a special life situation (e.g. orphanage or origin from an incomplete family, or raising a child alone).

A room or a studiowhat is more profitable?

If you fail to live in a dorm, look for a room in a student flat. Here, there are free market rules, and for a flat in a flat after renovation, close to the center, with full furniture and equipment, you have to pay a lot.

  • If you value comfort and privacy, and above all if you (and your family) can afford it, you can rent a studio apartment, i.e. a one-room flat.

The prices in the table are rentable to the owner with administration rentyou also have to add fees: internet and electricity (several dozen zlotys a month for a studio apartment). Advance payment for water and heating is usually included in the rent (beware of tenements, here heating is usually paid extra!).

Initial costs

If you decide to rent a studio or room, the first month will be particularly painful for your wallet, because you will have the following expenses:

  • The rent for the first month (you pay in advance for each).
  • Deposit for the owner (protects the costs of any damage and losses caused by you; if you do not break anything, you receive a deposit back at the end of the rental)usually in the amount of 1 month’s rent.
