Info

Students need to inspect the property, negotiate with the landlord and sign the rental agreement personally. This makes it is almost impossible for international students to arrange permanent accommodation from outside Belgium. You are therefore strongly advised to come to Ghent as early as possible and use temporary housing for the first few days. For more details about temporary housing, check the following section: ”Youth Hostels, Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts”. If you want to look for accommodation yourself, you should search for notice boards (often orange) stating “te huur” (for rent), or signs reading “studentenkamers te huur” (student room for rent). Telephone numbers of landlords are also available. Room hunting may take a couple of days, but with some help from the housing officers at your host institution, you should be able to find a room. The following web pages will certainly help you on your way: - the kot@Gent database: www.kotatgent.be (in Dutch, English, French & German); - the Immoweb database: www.immoweb.be (in Dutch, French & English); - the KotCentral Database: www.student.be/nl/kotcentral (in Dutch & French); - CasaSwap: www.CasaSwap.com If you want to furnish your room, you can visit the “Kringwinkels” (see page 55), where you can buy a variety of things like furniture, extra pots and pans, cooking utensils, etc. for very little money. 2. Youth Hostels, Hotels, Bed & Breakfasts Another possibility is to stay in a hotel or youth hostel during the first days of your stay and in the meantime look for a room yourself. - You can visit the website of the City of Ghent to find a hotel at www.visitgent.be. - Youth Hostel De Draecke, Sint-Widostraat 11, B-9000 Gent, Belgium (in the heart of the city centre, close to the castle). tel + 32 (0) 9 233 70 50 - fax + 32 (0) 9 233 80 01 gent@vjh.be - www.ghent-hostel.com. - Hostel47, Blekerijstraat 47, 9000 Gent tel + 32 (0) 478 71 28 27 - info@hostel47.be - www.hostel47.com. - Ecohostel Andromeda (ecological hostel on a boat), Bargiekaai 35, B-9000 Gent, Belgium - tel + 32 (0) 486 678 033 liselotclaeys@yahoo.com - www.ecohostel.be - Bed & Breakfast: please contact the Tourist Office of the City of Ghent or visit the website: www.bedandbreakfast-gent.be. - Use-It also offers some possibilities: www.use-it.be ’Where to sleep in Ghent’ – Print a list!
