Travelling to Leuven - KU Leuven

Foreword
It is no simple matter, moving to live in a foreign country for a while, possibly very far from your own town. Many things have to
be organised, especially upon arrival and during the first weeks of your stay in Belgium. You will be confronted with formalities
and procedures that may be totally different from the normal way of doing things in your own country. Our purpose in publishing
‘Travelling to Leuven’ is to offer a brochure that will help acquaint international visitors to KU Leuven with the important procedures
for registering and settling in Leuven, Belgium.
‘Travelling to Leuven’ is, of course, not capable of answering all your questions or solving all your problems, but it can at least
help you to find a solution.
This brochure will be most useful to you if you receive it a few months before you come to Leuven. Please read it carefully and
take into account all the practical information it contains. Brochures are sent free of charge to anyone who will be staying at
KU Leuven, as an international student, a researcher, or a visiting professor.
Finally, we would like to take this opportunity to wish you a fruitful stay at our University and in Belgium.
Professor Mark Waer
Rector
